Hopefully, the unrated cut or the deleted scenes have the Uma Thurman scenes that were cut from the final film.
Moviewizguy. I to would have given the film a perfect rating if it wasn't for the ending and I also agree that it's one of the best films minus the last two minutes.
However, I have to disagree that the ending is actually much worse than people are making it out to be. It litterally ruins the flow and tone of what came before it and nearly ruins the entire ride to that point. I'm not sure who is responsible for the ending, but I don't understand how such an ending could have been accepted by anyone with a working brain.

I would have given the film a perfect rating if it hadn't been for that ending. Still, the ending isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's one of the best films I've seen so far this year.

Looked awesome. Disappointed I missed it theatrically. Can't wait to check it out.
No extra features? No waste of time for me... pass.
Taylor Kitsch = Bad Luck
Missed this in theatres, looks like a rental at best. Horrible cover art, looks like a straight to video release not an Oliver Stone film.
I actually hated this c**p but hey that's me
I absolutely loved this film, dying to see it again.
Movie was actually half decent until the last two minutes. Literally knocked the movie down from an A- film to that of a C. Hoping the Unrated cut fixes the easily fixable.
I was very excited to see this flick but its negative reception will probably make this a minor disappointment at worst. Still dying to see it! The cover art screams DTV c**p, should've gone with the superior theatrical poster instead.
Really hopnig the unrated has a different ending as it would be so easy to do. Really crossing my fingers here.
