Just released from prison, all Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) wants is to start a new life with Ashley (Charlize Theron), the girl of his dreams, whom he met through pen pal letters in prison. But between them and happiness stands her crazy brother, Gabriel (Gary Sinise), and his motley crue of deadly criminals who think Rudy has some inside information about a casino where he once had a job -- a casino Gabriel and his short-fused posse plan to take down.

I did NOT have this on my 4K bingo card.

It does. The heist is on Christmas eve.

Great news didn’t think this would make it to 4K.

Good to know… I’d guess this is set for an early 2025 release, but I won’t watch it until Christmas time 2025.

Guess you guys do a lot of blind buying. The Directors Cut is the only legit version of the film and it's not even in 4K, making this a big disappointment. The theatrical cut was hacked to pieces and was widely dumped on...

[Mikezilla3k]

So is the Director's Cut remastered as well?

[Infallible Presence]

Fan-f-ing-tastic! After Lions Gate's botched their BDs with over DNR, we truly need this.

I hope it is or it's not worth upgrading from the current BD.

The synopsis only states theatrical cut from a 4K scan and nothing about the Director's cut so it doesn't appear that way, unfortunately.

Only the lame theatrical cut is in 4K so evidently "no"

And I don't blame Kino, this is probably them just releasing whatever Paramount is putting out there, but if you've seen the movie, you know how compromised the theatrical cut is. This isn't one or two minutes of mostly disposable filler, this movie was hacked down when the Weinsteins were infamous for taking movies into the editing room and shredding them to pieces.

It's a guilty pleasure in it's Director's Cut, but no way I'm upgrading just for the Theatrical Cut.

[Jorvic]

Can't help but think that it would be nice if Frankenheimer's Dead Bang got a release too at some point.

[Batman90]

I’m fine with the DC not in 4K for this it’s only a minute difference.

[Mike Flynn]

Only seen the director's cut. Redhead Charlize Theron in 4K, man...

More like 20 mins

[Tuc0]

Yeah the DC is a lot better imo.

There's a hooky Spanish release on a pressed BD, looks alright

[Maximux]
