Anyone have any ideas when i can buy this superb film on DVD?

Maybe we should have a sticky with DVD releases on it?

I watched this earlier in the week, also think its ace. Much prefer it to matrix 2, great acting, great effects and an even better story. Would highly recommend this to anybody and have it on pre-order.

What the?

Acting was shabber. Christian Bale is average at best - American Psycho was definately his only decent role. Effects were ok but nothing to shout about. Story was just too predictable and dull. Interesting to watch but nothing like as good as Matrix or Matrix 2!

That's just my opinion.

Well your opinion is duely noted and ignored. I loved this film and have been eagerly awaiting it's DVD release. It takes the matrix's style of action and gives it a real world proactical solution as to how they achieve it. Gun fighting by statistics

I'm undecided on this one, few m8's have given it the thumbs down and reviews are mixed. Got any links for online reviews?

IMO: It's got a thin and derivative plot (but still better than the Matrix), wooden acting (even moreso than the Matrix), and AWESOME action scenes (forget the Matrix). Definitely worth the money.

Agreed, a slight spin on ideas explored before. Did however like that for once the kick ass martial arts abilities were acredited to humans and not a strange magical force!

Yeah, there's even a website about it: www.gunkatta.com

I suppose it could be worth a rental.

Its not asking to be compared to THe Matrix.

I personally really liked this film! Christian Bale is a fantastic actor!

Great movie this.... however i dont remember much of it at all. I was a fan of the more original specil fx worth at least a rent!

Sinizter · 16-09-2003, 09:44 AM

I thought it was a really great movie when I watched it and I will be getting the DVD soon ....

When I sat down later and thought about it, the story doesnt seem to completely add up tho ....

Nothing really obvious, but just little things ....

But I still like it ....

This was my 50th post

You'll be happy to know Christian's the new BATMAN then Mojo

1 good bit. The last scene....the gun fight...
BUT
It's crap for this reason.
Watch it in slow motion.....before Bale shoots him, you'll note he has no gun....but just before he surrenders, note the gun in his hand........
NOT better than Matrix 2.

i think of it as a matrix wanna be.

i was impressed by the trailer but after watching it, it isnt tat great after all. matrix 2 is way better.
