Yes! The film should be on a 24hr repeat on a display in the Museum of Modern Art, or at least all the parts with Nic, which thankfully is most of the film.

1 1/2 stars?

The bluray.com reviewer was pretty harsh on this one.

From reading it (especially the stuff about Cage's shifting accent, etc), the reviewer didn't seem to get it. Well, get the humour anyway. But just like movies themselves, humour is subjective and I can certainly understand the movie not being for everyone.

Pretty harsh? Pretty completely utterly wrong more like. And that's me being polite. It gets better with age if anything!

I'm looking forward to revisiting this title. It's been too long since I've seen it.

He hasn’t checked the region locking though

BagheeraMcGee · 06-26-2022, 05:54 PM

3 ½ stars for Video
4 stars for Audio
2 ½ stars for Extras

1 ½ stars overall.

Yeah, that makes sense.

What usually tanks the overall is the reviewer's rating of the movie itself, but even here the math doesn't work out.

Blu-ray review
Movie 1.5
Video 3.5
Audio 4.0
Extras 2.5
Overall 1.5

I like this one because it's so serious and restrained in all ways possible.

you can tell Cage was trying to fight against his typecasting here. Showing such nuance and grace.

The overall is never a mathematical average of the numbers, it's always their overall opinion. If you really hate a movie and everything technical is a 5 then it makes sense if the overall is a 1.5 if you're petty and want to try and force your opinion on everyone else by making that 1.5 the most visible score for people that skim past it.

Watched this last night and really enjoyed the movie. I agree with the review here in terms of the video and audio quality. The bad, the subtitles on this release are a total mess. I’ve never seen so many errors, there must have been upwards of 20 mistakes. “II” instead of “I”, misspellings, words run together, missing words, numbers in place of letters, and even “{“ instead of “I”. Was this case on the Shout release? I’ve really never seen anything like it
