The British invasion of Hollywood started in front of the camera with actors like Daniel Day Lewis and David Oyelowo portraying important American historical figures. Now they’re swooping in and stealing the most American film genre: the western.

Special features include a “On Strange Land: Making Slow West” featurette and deleted scenes.

Al Pacino plays an aging music star who takes an opportunity to turn his life around and make a difference with his family. While the plot may be lacking in originality, the performances in Danny Collins really shine through. Currently holding a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, this is a great pick if you’re looking for something light to watch this summer. Two short extras are included: a behind the scenes feature and a collection of fake album covers featuring Pacino’s musician character.

If you like stories based on real life events check out Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren as Maria Altmann, an Austrian woman who successfully fought to reclaim paintings stolen from her family during World War 2.
