New on DVD: Statham Pulls Off Another Heist in 'Bank Job'

•Framed (* *; 1975, Legend/Paramount, R, $15): Next to the pre-"Dirty Harry" Don Siegel, Phil Karlson was Hollywood's best director of low-budget toughies, though this career swan song doesn't offer much support for that assertion. After 1973's brutal vigilante hit Walking Tall, Karlson and Joe Don Baker reteamed for this expose of rampant political corruption in a Southern burg.
