What's wrong with "Taken" Blu-ray from Amazon? - Blu-ray Forum

E55 KEV · 05-21-2009, 08:17 PM

Amazon is no longer selling Taken and shows this:

"Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with the item, the way we were shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."

Dunno. Already got my copy from Amazon, have watched it, had no issues with it, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The only thing that stands out is the rating according to the amazon link is PG13 instead of unrated.

sfmarine · 05-21-2009, 08:27 PM

Under Review...not sure what that means to us.

McCrutchy · 05-21-2009, 08:45 PM

Maybe it's because it's too expensive at $24.99...wake up Fox!

Valkyr47 · 05-21-2009, 08:48 PM

If 24.99 is to much why do you have BDs orderd that are $26.99.

Fox is no Criterion

I got it from Amazon but haven't watched it yet. I don't think I've ever seen that message before.

Lepidopterous · 05-21-2009, 09:02 PM

Maybe customers were complaining about the eco-friendly cover most of them come with...

How dare someone want to pay less for something.

I probably wouldn't care to pay $29.99 either if I only owned 25 blu-rays. It adds up though man.

AKORIS · 05-21-2009, 09:12 PM

it's probably just a computer glitch or mistake--

I bought this movie from AMAZON, and I just watched it last night.

Plays fine and saw no issues. Great movie btw (watching people take
on and whoop scumbags is one of my favorite genres from Bronson to Eastwood to Seagal)

The Blu-ray includes both the PG-13 and Unrated cut.

Just got mine today. Don't see anything wrong with it.

Exactly. More precisely, Criterion's titles are WORTH $26.99 because the PQ/AQ are the most consistently superb of any production house, period. Add to that the wealth of supplements provided for each title (director/scholarly commentaries, new/archival interviews and booklets of essays), and Criterion titles become an easy sell at $26.99.

Hell, I used to pay $35-$40 each for their DVDs...and their LDs could get past $100 MSRP back in the day.
