Is there a decent version of this coming out?

It seems like there's only a bare bones disc out on all regions.

Thanks in advance....

Haven't got a clue - but I'm glad it was on last night - my tapes ready and waiting for me at home, and Jennifer Lopez has never looked as sexy as she does in this - yum, yum!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I hadn't seen it till last night. Cool film, and I'm not a huge fan of Lopez but she was half decent in that. :)

Yeah i enjoyed the film too. Saw trailer for it at cinema (however long ago that was!) but never saw it until i got it on DVD. Was one of my first purchases way back early 99. Noticed it was on TV but didn't watch it. If a film is on TV i won't watch it if i have the DVD. DVD is so much better. :)

I bought this film on reputation and I ahve to say I absolutely hated it. This is probably Oliver Stone's worst film to date. All the talented actors give a decent performance but it's just two hours of going round in circles. It's full of red herrings (exactly why is Jon Voight in it?) At the end I was left wondering why I'd wasted £11 and two hours.

To be fair there isn't much wrong with the picture or sound quality (anamorphic, DD5.1 etc) but this doesn't really deserve any extras.

I thought this film was good also. However merely 'good' isnt enough to warrant a DVD purchase - it has to be bloody good/excellent :)

Rented this when it was out on video - and loved it so much I bought it when it went in the ex-rental bin at Blockbuster (about 3 days later).

To my mind it ranks up there with his finest -

JFK
U-Turn
NBK
Scarface (I know)
The Doors

Yeah, yeah, Platoon and Salvador et al are great too, but they don't have the absolute sense of out-of-the-box barely-contained insanity that those do.
