Hopefully they change the artwork, not a big fan of the UK theatrical poster.

Wow £22. Bargain.

Agree about the poster art, they all look a little 'added'.

Yeah, it should drop to around that price closer to release. I liked the film a lot, it is different to Arnie's other films. You can get away with a lot now with a 15 certificate. If you liked The Last Stand and Escape Plan you should enjoy this. I am hoping there is a directors cut.

I like nearly all of Arnie's films but absolutely hated this one. Over-the-top violence with little to no reason for it. And I am a fan of gory films usually!

Interestingly enough, it seems Lionsgate are distributing alot of Universal titles here in the UK & Ireland (just like Homefront)

[Ill_Be_Back]

I do agree with some of the violence being unnecessary,

[Show spoiler]like when they kill the cyclist and kill half the people on the street during that one chase sequence. Also the plot seems to go back and forth and doesn't really know what direction it is going. I didn't like some of the jokes the cast members were saying, it seemed childish.

Arnie seemed to be on top form though, they need to release the true directors cut before it was cut to ribbons by the studio.

They'll probably release "Extended Version: What you Didnt see in the Cinema" soon enough

Arnold was indeed excellent.

Agreed with all those things. I actually tried to watch it again and the language and jokes were even worse than I thought when I watched the first time. I, and a few other people who watched it, had the feeling that it was a send-up a few times, especially

[Show spoiler]the car chase with the chick hanging out of a boot of a car with a high powered rifle while the car is doing 180º spins and Arnie shooting holes in the boot inches away from her head.

There is a good plot in there somewhere, however, what turns up on screen is just people swearing at each other and then them shooting at each other. Arnie, because he is Arnie, made it watchable, though.

Yeah love both of those. In fact I love all Arnie movies except Junior

Yeah Junior might have been a bit too out there.

Hated this film beyond belief. If the studio truly cut the film, then they have no reason being a production company in the first place since they must have no knowledge of how to make a bankable film.
