Finally matched Walmart's price. I was beginning to think they wouldn't.

Looks very, very cool. I've been buying a lot of Asian cinema lately, so I'll definitely add this to the list.

Ive had issues playing Well Go discs on my Philips, most recently A Better Tomorrow. But it plays perfectly on my PS3. Try it on another player if u can.

[Harlock415]

Plays fine on my Oppo 83

Watched this last night and it played fine on my Panasonic 210. I thought the movie itself was good and well done, but

[Show spoiler]couldn't help thinking that the entire sequence where he was being chased by the soldiers towards the end was very reminiscent of Apocalypto.
