Great film. D gives another stellar performance,the extended edition seemed to give us more than we orginally saw in the theatrical but it came out in 08' so its not exactly fresh in my cranium!

I never saw the theatrical cut, so I can't confirm my suspicions, but I think the extended cut was lame. I think this because the only part of the movie I didn't care for was at the very end with what seemed to be a perfunctory and unneeded scene. If it hadn't been part of the movie, I wouldn't have thought "Man, that movie really just needed something at the end." The only thing I didn't like about it when I watched the extended version was this last scene; since I enjoyed the rest of the movie I suspect it was all that was added since it had no bearing on the film proper. The rest of it is excellent as you would expect from a Ridley Scott drama starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Folks, there aren't too many great combos like that that can stick (before you ask, yes, this movie is better than Virtuosity).

Freaky. Lots of violence but one very fascinating movie. Based on a very true story. And two fantastic actors working together. Crowe & Washington. Don't give up. You'll have to see this one right to the end to appreciate it.
