No DVD? Weird. Either way I'll probably buy.

Great movie, perfect Steelbook art

Agreed. Another movie I had no interest in getting purchased because of the steelbook.

Leonidas King · 09-23-2016, 01:09 PM

It was a good movie, not a great one. Nice cover though.

hbarnes · 09-23-2016, 11:06 PM

Looks great

Chaotic · 09-23-2016, 11:09 PM

Pretty good movie, but not something I would buy. Great steelbook though.

lebronlightyear · 09-23-2016, 11:09 PM

Man, I must be seeing things because the steelbook art I'm looking at is not appealing to me at all. I kinda expected all the comments to be in the same vein but everyone else seems to like it. Maybe it will grow on me? I'll probably pre-order this version either way.

I wonder if the regular BD will have a slipcover

kryptonite1970 · 09-24-2016, 12:28 AM

Easy pass for me.

henry00x · 09-24-2016, 12:55 AM

day one purchase

Fat Scarface.

I've had to send back my last two.

I've also had to deal with Best Buy, because my last order never came and I got it 8 days after release. NYSM and NYSM2.

But, at least I can grab Best Buy steels in store during lunch.

Target, they're already in the coffins even if I get there when they open.

GreatGreg · 09-24-2016, 03:39 AM

You will cave in. They always do.

Yes, it looks too much like a ripoff of SCARFACE.

Ah fair enough.

And for those complaining about it looking too much like Scarface -- that's kinda the point.

not so much a Scarface ripoff as a retelling of Lord of War...

They mean the poater art, and it was an intentional nod to it, not a ripoff. It makes sense for the movie. And it's not a retelling of Lord of War either. Both deal with arms dealings, and the side effects of that way of life, but otherwise they're completely diffferent. This is based directly on a true story of actual people (though with obvious liberties taken), while Lord of War is fictional but inspired by real stories of various gun runners. I do think Lord of War is the better movie of the two.

No, you aren't seeing things because I don't think it is appealing either. Personally, I hate it so unless it changes, easy pass for me.

The poster/cover is an homage to Scarface. There are even homages of Scarface within the film.
