Viewing Notes

Holy shit is the director’s cut long! Three hours and sixteen minutes. Liked this more on second watch than when I first saw it. Fun to see all the actors in this, a few of which were making names for themselves in the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy around the same time. And Diane Kruger!

Years ago I got this bc I hadn’t seen it but the DVD started skipping within the first 15 minutes or so and became unplayable. I should attempt to watch this again, this time on Blu. Do you recommend viewing the DC first or going w/theatrical?

Its been so long since I saw the theatrical cut I’m not entirely sure what the differences are. I’m gonna guess you could go with the theatrical and it’d be fine. I think the DC is on Amazon Prime or Netflix?
