From Universal Studios Home Entertainment: The Bag Man

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- John Cusack (Lee Daniels' The Butler, Grosse Pointe Blank), two-time Oscar^® winner Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook, Raging Bull) and Rebecca Da Costa (Breaking at the Edge, 7 Below) star in the intense action-packed thriller The Bag Man, coming to Blu-ray^™, DVD and DIGITAL HD with UltraViolet^™ on April 1, 2014, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Both the Blu-ray^™ and DVD include a special behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Bag Man featuring exclusive interviews with the cast and filmmakers.

Jack (John Cusack), a low-rent thug, thinks he's hit the jackpot when legendary crime boss Dragna (Robert DeNiro) gives him a simple assignment: pick up a package and deliver it—don't open it, and don't ask questions. But over the course of a long and increasingly violent night waiting in a seedy motel, the bag attracts the attention of a slew of shady characters—including femme fatale Rivka (Rebecca Da Costa), the sleazy motel manager (Crispin Glover), a one-eyed gangster (Sticky Fingaz), an undersized hit man (Martin Klebba) and a crooked cop (Dominic Purcell). As Jack awaits the arrival of Dragna, each of them will make a play for the package's unknown contents and Jack will do whatever it takes to hang on to his precious cargo.

The Bag Man will be available on Blu-ray^™, DVD and DIGITAL HD with UltraViolet^™.
