Have to see how cool it is first. Might be worth a look see

Porkchop Express · 12-22-2009, 02:49 PM

I still have an extra $5 off coupon for Target. I think I'm going to pick this up after work today.

I usually read all the reviews and base my purchase off that. Why waste $6 on a rent and then purchase after the fact? Seems like a waste IMO

Agreed 100% unless one has Netflix

Yes it is a perfect blind buy that one day you would list in one of those threads that asks what was the best blind buy bluray you ever purchased.

...Neeeeetfliiiiiix - ::in sing-songy voice:: - like Jim said. I wouldn't rent it like that, via Blockbuster. But doing it via Netflix saves money.

IMO it's not worth buying at all. Rent it first.

The ample production notes help make up for the expenditure because, yeah, the vest alone would not justify a $10 jump in price (though, to be fair, the production notes are similar to what we got in the digibooks of SILVERADO and DR. STRANGELOVE for no extra $). Pretty nice package, but when you can get the stand-alone disc at Target (with the famous $5 off coupon) for $14.99, only someone who takes the greatest joy in buying rare exclusives (and let's be clear, as far as exclusives go, this one is on the more mediocre end) need bother with this Best Buy exclusive. Personally, I take great joy in knowing that you won't be able to find this at retail anywhere a month from now (maybe sooner--I got to my Best Buy an hour after opening today and they only had a measly four of these in stock) but YMMV.

doctorD · 12-22-2009, 04:15 PM

It all depends on what types of movies you like. It is rated "R" (violence, language and some grotesque scenes). But the story and action scenes are top notch for a low budget movie. If you like those things then "Yes" it is worth a blind buy. I am definitely picking it up.

space2001 · 12-22-2009, 04:18 PM

I agree don't blind buy it, While I didn't mind the movie it wasnt' as spectacular as people say it is. Rent it first beacsue its not everyones cup of tea.

I'm glad I ordered online with in-store pickup....
