I like it.
I'm glad I've not caved and did not buy the Canadian steelbook when it was offered to me only recently. (Don't get me wrong, the Canadian steelbook is nice and usually I do not mind bilinguality, but with the blue bar on top and all the text on the front cover, it's just too much.)

I haven't even seen the movie let alone own any steel for this. Will be ordering and opening this for everyone to see as soon as I get one. Hell might even do an unboxing video!

 

[BulleTooth13]

I'm not a big fan of Zavvi as a retailer. So no need for them to up their game we have enough retailers out there upping their game at the moment.

The film is incredible, but then I expect nothing less from the coen brothers
99% of their films are 10/10

...and good replay value too which is quite rare for drama based films.

Zavvi now have the price listed as £15.99, which isn't too bad imo. As other have said, this is a great film and reading this thread has made me want to watch it again this weekend.

Really like the Japanese poster art though.

 

[CleverLoginName]

Holy smokes, what a great slip this Japanese art would make!

 

[Noodles]

Not a big fan of that art... I might have been tempted if both the steel and slip weren't exactly the same though. Will stick with my Canadian steelbook for now.

 

[blu-steel]

I hope they ship these in a way that doesn't cause the slip to smash. Watch them ship out in the bubble mailers.

One amongst the best films imo.

100% agree with both of you This is one badass f*cking movie Love it!

 

[C.C. 95]

Not bad. I don't think NCFOM ever had a really good steelbook release.

 

[Strangerbyday]

Have to shamefully admit, I've never seen this. Been meaning to for ages but never got around to it. Will definitely pick this up!

 

[garabe]

Exciting. Then see the art. Why bother at all? Utter dross.

Fully agree, I must of watched this film at least 10 times,
It was the first film I noticed Bardem even though when I look back at his filmography I had seen him in things before that. Absolutely loved brolin in this too and naturally Tommy. Woodys cool as always too

Great cast, great story, great bad guy - actually I would say an iconic bad guy and that moment in the little gas station too "you married into this?" The guy don't even have a clue what just happened. The dog moment in the water still gets me and the gun fight in the street. Also.
But I am a sucker for a good coen film like Fargo, burn after reading, true grit, big lebowski, Millers crossing, inside llewyn Davis etc (so many more)
Still need to see hail caesar

As for the steel I'm not massive on the art and like I mentioned before I find it so annoying the slip is the same. I can only imagine zavvi will continue this for a while BUT I only own this on DVD so I would like to own this. Maybe I'll just get this out of the new announcements as its a film i love, don't own it in HD and to try out these new slips zavvi have only just realised collectors enjoy lol

 

[Mickle_89]

Very well said @Flloydo I especially like the bad guys weapon of choice too May have to pick this up...

 

[karl01]

love this film doubt the colour with match the mock up

 

[dLux]

Zavvi being really pathetic with these wannabe slips. Are they realls this clueless?

 

[javiermendoza]

Best film without a soundtrack, hands down. I'll buy it as I don't own this on blu, yet.

That's a tough call. Fail-Safe, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Rope and The Birds all had no score.
I'll get this too, as the earlier release with the text all over the cover wasn't great.

Yes, seen them all except Fail-Safe - I've read good reviews though.

It's still No Country For Old Men that takes the gold for me.

 

[virkia]

The only one I'll be buying at full price with the others hopefully a bit cheaper.
However not enamoured with these slips as too many of them will take away valuable space from my shelves reserved for steelbooks (unless I unseal them and place the slips somewhere else . . . which kind of defeats the object (LOL).
Great film and the best of the offerings with a slipbox and as mentioned previously repays repeated viewing

Quite like the minimalist popart style artwork and the sun-baked earth colouring.
There are however a couple of other choices that might have made for more effective steelbook front covers (IMO):-

P.S. I'd recommend watching CRAWL back-to-back with this - a gritty modern Australian film noir with more than a few touches inspired by NCfOM with a similarly enigmatic though very different looking hitman.
