Why is this DVD soooooo light-on on extras!!?? :)

I'm not buying this because I'm sure it'll be re-released soon as a 2-disc special edition. Probably around the time of the Casino Royale release date.

Uh, it was already released as a 2-disc.

In the States, maybe. In Britain, and, judging by BC's post, Australia, it's a single-disc affair with virtually no extras, just a short introduction by Spielberg and a featurette, if I remember correctly.

Ah, I see. In the states, we have a nice two-disc set with a lovely box and all.

Finally saw this and was wholly un-blown away. It's message feels a bit simplistic and as an undercover thriller it's not that thrilling (kill someone, go somewhere else; kill someone there). And just in case we don't understand what he's trying to say Spielberg gets Eric Bana to practically turn to the camera in the last scene and explain the 'message'; just like he thought we had to have the plot explained to us in Minority Report three times. Sometimes it feels like he has contempt for the audience nowadays.

It's not a bad film, but it's far from the masterpiece it wants to be.

I didn't think it was all that thrilling either. It wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't excite me. To be honest as well as unbiased, the best scenes were with Craig. Without him the film slowed to a snails pace IMHO.

It's as Loomis says about the Australian situation, but it's nice to know that there actually IS a 2-disc version "out there" somewhere. :)

Rub it in why don't you Harmsway! :)

I'm in no hurry to order this online, so I'll bide my time until it's released out this way. Like I mentioned above, THAT maybe around the Casino Royale release date here I bet.
