The film has a run time of approximately 95 minutes and is Unrated.
I’m looking forward to seeing the real version of this movie.
What’s that mean? Did they heavily edit the theatrical version?
Nice, the UNRATED version as opposed to the PG-13 version that was released in theaters.
The theatrical was a very obviously edited R-rated film. It’ll be nice to see the unrated version.
