Loved this movie as well, Brian… Dark, wet, creepy, great cast, interesting plot… Fincher isn’t for everyone, but he packs a whollop in this one… Wish I was in the modern world and had the HD TV, Blu-Ray player, and proper sound, but just the memories of the “box” made me want to rent this all over again! see ya soon!

Only a few weeks to go! This show is absolutely brilliant. I wonder how the prequel series will be. It’ll just be odd having a Spartacus show without Spartacus.

Thanks for the reference. I love the DVD for this flick. The case is really cool and all the features are awesome, but I am really looking forward to seeing the transfer quality for the blu-ray.

Wow, you lucky bastard. Thanks for keeping this on the DL and not telling us you had this. It’s a drive-by review, sort of.

Yeah. I’m looking forward to this myself. Man, I still have the laserdisc Criterion Collection edition of this film.

Although, I do wish WB (or New Line) had kept the same John Doe journal design that the DVD had.

They are both R Rated.

@Brian, I think that’s a very subjective comment. RR is an action director. Not everyone is an action director.

@ Gerard…yawn! No explosions? How could it be any good then. Even Rodriguez said in his book that if you want your movie to be good and looked upon favorably, then you have to have at least 1 explosion.

I’m sure the R-rating is the only thing that prevented my Jessica, oops…I mean Machete from taking the #1 spot.

Just came back from this and I loved it.

@Brian – You’ll hate it. There are no explosions, martial arts, or cgi anywhere in this film. Be warned. :p

I liked it so much that I’m putting it on my top-ten of the year. I did enjoy the comparisons to spy-noir-westerns that some folks were alluding too. They did fit it nicely.

In addition to Clooney being really good in this, the main star is the locations. I want to live there.

This will be a day 1 purchase on blu-ray for me.

BTW, the film came in #1 and Machete in #2. The American and The Mexican share the spotlight. lol
