First press screenings are gonna be held this week.


Hmpf.. that's short. But as long as it keeps the adrenaline up all the time, it should suffice. And it's easier to watch two times in a row.

My thoughts exactly! :wink: While I would have liked it to be a 2.5 hour epic :lol:, atleast it's more than 90 minutes, which is usually a - although vague - sign of quality.

At least they're not ashamed of the film. Quite happy to screen it for critics. Had they not, alarm bells would be ringing.

Agreed, that's also a good sign. I'm gonna predict that it get's mixed to positive reviews overall. Some will certainly "not get it", but a lot of critics will at least see it as a "guilty pleasure", while for the rest of us, it'll just be a pleasure. :)

It's been rated 15 in the UK (for "strong violence and language") but one cut of 2 secs has been made at the request of the distributor to avoid the 18 certificate :(

Means my little brother can see it, a family outing!! Weyy-heyy!! But it's also quite disappointing from the stand-point of, it can't be too violent if only 2 seconds was cut...(although that's an eternity in blood spurting mayhem :wink:) as long as they restore the cuts for the dvd, I'm happy.

It's not as violent as RAMBO but from what I was told it's still pretty violent.

Yeah I got the impression it was still pretty violent from the trailer and from things people have said, I also thought they would attempt to drop it down to a 15 for the UK or aim for it. An 18 would be a bit of a mistake to be honest, Rambo and Taken and if I remember correctly From Paris With Love was an 18, but it has to be pretty damn violent to get an 18 now.

Haha, shit this is hotting up and those tatoos gave me a giggle. It's so surreal seeing Dolph's face up there with all those other guys, hope this isn't the last time we see something like this for big-D.
