I personally really liked this movie. Visually I think it will look really good on blu. The brothers white outfits, the green grass of long island. I know a lot of people don't like this movie but it's not because it's a bad movie. This movie had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. I also thought Tim Roth, Naomi Watts and even Micheal Pitt did a really good acting job. I am a fan of twisted, weird, violent movies if you are I recommend seeing it at least once.

Don't think we will see a release anytime soon in the U.S, but I am hoping that the U.K release will be region free..

master_8ball · 02-18-2010, 03:55 PM

Would be nice if the packaged it with the original as well.

Minimejer05 · 02-18-2010, 06:55 PM

Really did enjoy this. I hope it gets a Blu release sometime in the US.

CZAR · 02-18-2010, 07:21 PM

Man I hated this film. My friend said it was great so I gave it a shot and I wanted to slap him after I watched it. I def wont be buying if it reaches blu. Good luck to everyone else though. Got Em!!

"Hated It!"

ccfixx · 02-18-2010, 07:37 PM

I already own the previous UK blu-ray release, and the film does look quite nice. It's region-free, so I'd like to think that the re-release will be region-free... then again, it's a different company so I don't really know.

I was intrigued by this movie when I watched. I would like to see it on blu but not sure how much replay value it would have for me.

RebelPrince1986 · 02-18-2010, 09:03 PM

One of my favourite movies... really hoping this release is region free as I didn't get to get ahold of the previous release.

This is just one of those movies you either love or hate I guess

For me it was a movie I had no expectations going into it. There were some parts I didn't like but I can forgive them because I am guessing the director was trying to frustrate the audience.

Actually, the entire movie is basically a practical joke on the audience, which is part of what makes it so brilliant. I'd much rather have the original on Blu than the remake though.

Clark Kent · 02-18-2010, 11:22 PM

It was okay as a purchase I made without having seen it. The acting is very good at least.

jw · 02-18-2010, 11:25 PM

is this a different movie than the previous release? Looks like it has same actors, etc

I thought it was average. Worth a rent. Not something I'd want to see more than once.

Yes, it was one big practical joke on the viewing audience. It's almost like the director purposely tried to make the film as aweful as possible to see who would sit through the entire stinkbomb of a film. They got me once but they won't get me again. I wouldn't put this film on my Blu-Ray shelf if I were given a free copy.

Same movie... different studios releasing it on blu-ray 'cause the original release by Tartan is now out-of-print.
