If this is the case why does Zavvi have the artwork with the 18 rating on it? They need to let us the customer know so we can make informed choices on the steels we purchase. I don't want the cut version so I too will be cancelling this.

I have to say, personally, I think this is the best artwork for this release.

 

[yardman]

ive emailed them and asked if they can confirm the 18 rating
but i suspect the reply to be all garbage as they wont have a clue,
will keep u posted..

 

[UpsetSmiley]

Whenever in doubt about the possibility of a misleading description/place holder art, allow me to refer you to the Maleficent thread.

reply from zavvi regarding cut or uncut,

Thank you for getting in touch about your order.

As far as i can see the edition we are providing is the full edition as you are looking for. If i have any more news on this i will be sure to let you know.

It's cut then!!!!

The UK version won't be the unrated version.

As per BBFC -

This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive an 18 certificate but that their preferred 15 classification could be achieved by making cuts to reduce the violence in two scenes. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, edits had been made to reduce sequences of violence, including detail of a stabbing with a corkscrew and a garroting. The formal submission was consequently rated 15.

Not sure what cut is on the US BD

Watched this over Xmas , loved it , loved it enough to order this , there was only one man that could have played this part and it was the legend that is denzel
For anyone who hasn't seen it , it very cool and slick just like man on fire

 

[kingkarl1967]

Cancelled mine , will order the R rated version from the USA.

 

[The Guvnor]

Cancelled mine too and ordered the French steel instead as it was only €14.99 last week.

 

[spookz]

It appears to be an 18 cert in the picture???????

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

I'm confused.com is it cut or isn't it??? The link's say it's cut but the age rating saying otherwise

 

[cooey]

The rating is a mock-up, it's been rated 15 for home video release as per the BBFC

Order Despatched

 

[BluSteel2012]

Why is this steelbook €30+? Ridiculous. Are they expecting another situation similar to 'Under The Skin' or something?

Will probably be half price within a few weeks. AND the movie's cut!

 

[Agent_DVD]

Despatched to the US... safe travels

 

[kolchaker]

On its way.
Watched it the other night,top film

Probably something to do with the fast that the "always" bankable star Mr. Denzel stars in it. Just like Disney or Star Wars merch, people just like to jack the price up if it's popular. Personally I think he's overrated, although I do like him in Training Day. He's just far too samey in his roles for me. I don't despise the guy, he just does nothing for me. He's either a life coach or a man on a revenge mission pulling that same godawful face

Apologies in advance to Denzel lovers

Didn't realise the UK version was cut, thank for the heads up in case I decide to give it a blind buy if or when it drops in price.
