jordan-r · 02-15-2019, 03:15 PM

Day one. Been hoping for this upgrade for the longest time.

DaBargainHunta · 02-15-2019, 03:22 PM

Awesome movie!

Cremildo · 02-15-2019, 03:27 PM

Always a good day when a career-topping masterpiece is announced by a decent label.

balthazar_bee · 02-15-2019, 03:32 PM

The Spanish Prisoner, now this...could this be the year for Homicide, Spartan or Heist?

bonehica · 02-15-2019, 03:33 PM

Finally. Need more Mamet on blu.

These are for the DVD, so hopefully, they'll be updated when the final listings go live later today. Here's hoping it's a new 4K scan.

Hell fn yes!

I'm not seeing any mention of the film at that link...?

Hoke Moseley · 02-15-2019, 07:57 PM

Homicide too, please. Mamet's two best films imo.

Excellent, long overdue news either way.

Scahom1 · 02-26-2019, 11:14 PM

Great film, happy to retire the DVD.

carver · 06-03-2019, 04:17 PM

Not that I ever put much stock into the "film reviews" on Blu-Ray.com, but this one is a laughably ignorant 3.5 stars... LOL

MifuneFan · 06-03-2019, 04:33 PM

I'd personally give this movie 3 stars at most. I found it really got worse as it progressed, and the choppy and poorly delivered dialogue (something Mamet is known for) was just annoying. Good moody atmosphere, but the plot is nothing special.

Hoke Moseley · 06-03-2019, 04:40 PM

Brilliant script and one of the best directorial debuts of all time!

Can't wait to pick it up from B&N next month.
