Dolph has a very old school directorial style, remniscent of Peter Yates and other directors of that time.

The visuals aren't bogged down with AVID grammar, no.

Cheers,

Bryan, I was also just curious as to how Ben Cross did. He is a good actor, and has been in some big films, especially Chariots Of Fire. He is a high calibur co-star in comparison to DL's recent co-stars.

Ah, I am more from the central part of Missouri; Mexico, Missouri, near Columbia. KC is a recent move for me.

Sounds like Dolph has a natural style with his direction. There are so many new directors trying every whiz-bang trick out there it makes me dizzy. I like it simple and clean. The fighting is where it should get dirty.

I look forward to seeing the new movie, it sounds very good! :)

So has anyone ordered from this site before? Are they able to ship items to the United States? Does anyone know what €23,65 (8059 Drs) is in US dollars? Is it easy to enter all of your shipping information on the site or do they advise folks from overseas to email their order?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm just interested in watching this one.

My order has gone through. I received an E Mail saying that The Mechanik (Controller as they called it) will be ready to ship on the 12th. Basically I ordered it through the website itself using a translater to help get me through.

Wow, cool! about the title confusion, Nu Image pre-sold THE CONTROLLER to distributors when it was in prep and replaced it by THE MECHANIK obviously so then marketing people mixed it up... I ordered twice from Greece but not from this site...
