When Doug falls into a passionate romance with the bank manager (Rebecca Hall) briefly taken hostage in their last heist, he wants out of this life and out of the town. As the Feds close in and the crew questions his loyalty, he has one of two choices: betray his friends or lose the woman he loves. Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Titus Welliver, Pete Postlethwaite and Chris Cooper also star.

I need to see this.

Loved the movie and the ending, buying it.
A must buy for me.

YES!!! The cop in the front with the hat is a photoshopped cut out of Jeremy Renner's character when he is disguised as a cop!

Like Paramount 2 years ago, Warner Bros. is now making non-Tuesday home video release films (meaning they will be released, just on a different day other than Tuesday). In 2008, they started off with "Kung Fu Panda," "Ghost Town" and "Eagle Eye" etc. being released on Sundays and Dreamworks Animation studios released the first two Shreks, "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" and "How to Train Your Dragon" on Fridays. Disney did Sunday releases with "Bolt" and "Bedtime Stories." Very unexpected.
Also the Twilight series got released on a Saturday as well as Chamber of Secrets on a Friday.

I liked the ending, but I read about an alternate ending online that somebody saw at a test screening. It sounded better, and I'd love to see it show up in this release.

It's a little hard to explain without being confusing but in short the same guy is on the cover twice: once where he's dressed as a nun and the other where he's dressed as the regular uniformed police officer.
Who exactly? All bank robbers are masked (unrecognizable) and all we see is the cops showing their backs (unrecognizable as well)?? How your able to distinguish this reference is beyond me. X-ray vision sight? :/

This was a great movie until the unbelievable ending. It really made me hate the film.

I loved "The Mist". Sad ending but it made sense, unlike this film.

Oh STFU.
Oh STFU.
Blu Ray cover looks much better. Cant believe this is coming out in Dec. Its still in mostly every theatre near me.

I enjoyed this, but I might not want to own the DVD of it. It was a great movie to see ONCE - I don't see myself watching this over and over again.
Seeing how this film scored a 94% on RT, the trailer looked interesting, and it has Ben Affleck, this is a definite rental. Glad the Blu-ray owners get the better artwork.
Wow, I love how Warner always gives their Blu-Ray releases the better features. I wish they would have at least put the extended cut onto the DVD. Oh well, I really, REALLY loved this movie, and I'm so happy that they're releasing it so soon. Just in time for the holidays!
Released on a Friday? Huh, that's interesting. Definite day one purchase for me. Too bad the extended cut is Blu exclusive.
It was average, i REALLY wanted to love it but it just lacked something. Its nowhere near the departed in any form. Its much more conventional and at times almost boring. I didnt hate it but i expected much more from it. The few action scenes are great tho and i loed afflecks gone baby gone much more
Good movie, I don't know if I want to buy though

great movie!!! on par with gone baby gone. who would have thought ben affleck was capable of this high quality acting AND directing.
I really like the cover, much more pleasant to look at than the poster. Never saw this, but I'm interested.
Considering how well this did, im really surprised this is coming out so soon.
