DVD REVIEW:

The movie is absolutely marvelous and quite violent.  A slight warning that even though this movie is in many listings as a top movie of all time, if you can’t take watching violence, then pass on this movie.

The screenplay is superb and the movie is just awesome! You probably heard about this movie mentioned many times, so I’ll cut to the chase and talk about the DVD.

Unfortunately, this must be an earlier DVD release (when DVD’s first came out) because there is nothing in terms of special features.  No audio selection but there are English subtitles.  With a special edition VHS version out with deleted scenes and more, I don’t know why they skimped out in this DVD release.  Even for an earlier release, I have seen trailers and other things added, therefore I can’t give the overall DVD a great rating until we get the special edition DVD.  Colors are vibrant, audio is good but this DVD deserves a better release.

If you want to see the movie and don’t care about special features, buy this DVD.  It’s very good!!  But if you are a DVD fanatic, then hopefully you can wait for the special edition.
