You have the most interesting taste on movies.

I want to see the movie first then wait for a non-Zavvi steelbook release. If there are none then I'd be happy to get the digital copy.

But the people that didn't like Prisoners and Enemy really liked this film.

I loved Prisoners a LOT. I never did see Enemy yet. And I didn't like Sicario. I will never watch it again, and would never spend money on a blu ray release of it.

I loved Prisoners, thought Enemy was average at best, and loved Sicario.

I still haven't seen Enemy. Prisoners, though, is fantastic.

Maleficent, a few Marvel films, etc.

To name a few that did.

Still have not seen the movie but I have ordered this. Hopefully see in cinema in next week or two.

Kris Deering · 10-08-2015, 06:38 PM

Fans of this director should really make it a point to see Incendies. Still probably his best work (and nominated for best foreign film from the Academy no less). It is rarely talked about. Polytechnique is also a pretty strong piece though most will say it is a rip off of something like Elephant.

BigNickUK · 10-08-2015, 07:26 PM

By the way guys this is NOT listed as a Zavvi Exclusive (yet)

GxyExpress999 · 10-08-2015, 08:16 PM

According to the image in the email, it's supposed to be exclusive though. Maybe the email is a mistake (forgot to remove "exclusive")?

it started out good and went flat. great cast was wasted, especially benicio del toro. excellent premise and opportunity wasted. total disappointment.

Exactly. I thought the opening scene of the film was amazing, and could have led down a million different paths. Knowing his work before, I expected it to be darker, and more crime related...not such a basic war procedural. I was wanting some cool like almost Dexter-ish crime mystery about the person/people that were behind all the dead bodies in the house.

My guess, that's just a placeholder date.

Strangerbyday · 10-14-2015, 06:18 PM

In case it wasn't before, this is now up on Amazon for preorder, £22.99.

casperuk · 10-14-2015, 08:07 PM

Great movie. Don't get the hate. And seeing as it's not a zavvi exclusive then I'll wait for it to drop in price.

ChoppedUp · 10-14-2015, 08:42 PM

Saw this last night. Couldnt' stop lol. I'd consider picking up this but New Years Eve 2016 is a long way off.

I liked Enemy 8/10, Thought Prisoners was just ok 6/10, and loved Sicario.

anephric · 12-31-2015, 06:32 PM

I liked all of them, funnily enough because I enjoy, uh, all of Denis Villeneuve's films.

Whooooosh.

That's the sound of you completely missing the point of this film.
