John, I'm really excited for you and I'ma let you finish... But The Untouchables was one of the greatest period pieces OF ALL TIME!

One of the ugliest films I've seen in theatres. The homevideo-look didn't work at all. Looked like a cheap history channel re-enactment(sp)

Nice cover art!

Artwork is decent. Kinda agree with you Edgeman05.

How come Christian Bale is not featured on the dvd cover artwork?

I thought Bale and Depp were the big dual stars for this movie.

The text looks sort of pink... is it supposed to be red? Either way, 2-disc and Blu look classy.

Would look a lot better with the original silver color scheme.

I was disappointed with the critically acclaimed 3:10 to Yuma, that's also a cowboy flick, so I'm pretty sure I'll be dissatisfied as well. Albeit the director's previous works have been successful, I'll still skip on this.

Uh.... this isn't a "cowboy flick."

Took 'em long enough to decide.

Well I am going to pass. It was far boring and Johnny Depp was bland.

I was excited to check this out, back in the summer, but the lukewarm reviews scared me away.  I'll at least give it a blind buy, since I pretty much love everything else Michael Mann has done, even Miami Vice and Ali.....

Loved it. First day pickup for me.

This.

I heard this film WAS NOT ALL THAT! But that two stars attached were? I might rent, well see.

I can't wait to pick it up just so I can blast the sound and hear what the characters are actually saying.  A lot of theaters were having problems with the audio.

Kind fo reminds me of the situation with the sequal to "The Fugitive", "U.S. Marshalls".  The rural sequence of Wesley Snipe's chase was shot down a 2-lane high-way (IL Rt. 145) from my town.  The scene where he hi-jacks the semi was shot at a now closed down rest area about 25 miles south of town.  In fact, I used to drive that road quite a bit back then, and I remember seeing that semi sitting there for quite some time.  Never knew that it was a movie prop.  (I believe the rest area was already closed at the time) And then when they showed the truck driving around a curve between two tree lines, that was just a few miles north of that rest area.  The later, when they showed the truck coming over a bridge meeting two police cars, that was actually south of all that at the Brookport bridge over the Ohio River gong into Paducah, KY.  So the actual geographic chronology there really didn't make sense.  (Travel north from the rest area, and then later show up 25 miles south of the rest area.)  

I put this above Miami Vice, but far below Collateral, Heat, and the Insider. This is somewhere right around Ali. Not bad, but just not very good.

liked the movie.  loved the action scenes.

When will you learn to type up the extras in list form? It gives us a better overview of what's on the disc instead of just typing up the extras one after another. Think about it at least. I'm sure i'm not the only one that find this annoying.

The HD cinematography called attention to itself way too often in this movie. I'm fine with HD filmmaking as long as it doesn't stick out (like "Benjamin Button" or "District 9", but like in Mann's previous movie "Miami Vice" -- it stuck out like a sore thumb. A period piece deserves to be shot on film, having a wobbly camcorder feel to the movie just doesn't feel right.

And the movie... what a disappointment. I expected better from Mann and the actors, not a bloated bore.

pleasantly surprised at all the positive feedback here. i loved the film as well, and i was skeptical of the HD cinematography at first, but i thought it added an interesting bit of realism to the period.

2-disk DVD...YES!

I heard great things.
Christian Bale is one of the greatest.
Blind buy.

I will definately be picking this one up. I loved it.

This was filmed in the town I go to college, and despite them filming A LOT here, I guess they only used a fraction of the footage.  So this town appears in the movie for about 5 minutes or so, according to what I'm told.  

My parents saw this and thought it was decent.  I myself never got around to the theaters to see this, so I will NetFlix it.  Not right away, though.  I'm still a little miffed I couldn't be an extra on-set because of my tallness.  I'm 6 foot 5, and I think Depp is what?  5 foot 9?  Anyway, I'm sure they'll take the poster and use it for the art.  

didnt like this much, it wasnt terrible but it was just well....meh. sorry to use a lame internet term like that. lol

but i saw it with my very gorgeous friend so it'll always bring a smile thinking back on seeing it.
