In Bruge - Any reviews of the dvd?

I read the theatrical review of In Bruge here at dvdtalk, but will there be a review for the dvd release? Does Focus Features even send out screener copies?

I was considering a blind buy, but cannot justify the $19.99 price otherwise.

Tofferman. DO IT! I will reimburse you your money if you don't like it. I've been begging this couple I know to see it for months in the theater. I just got an e-mail from them tonight and they said they just rented it, and I quote "It was fucking awesome! 8.5/10 rating".

I need more friends like you! That way I could accumulate my dvd collection for a lot cheaper.

Looking forward to it. Seeing that none of the dvd websites that I peruse daily have reviewed it, I assume no screener copies were sent out.

I've seen it and it has a good amount of special features. Deleted/gag scenes, features about the making of, and ones about the city. None very long, but not bad.

The DVD looked good. I'm still undecided as to how much I liked the movie though.

You can always check DVD Basen to see if any sites have reviewed a particular DVD. It appears that both DVD Times and DVD Movie Central have reviews up for In Bruges.

Just saw it (the review). Perfect!

But you couldn't have given the film a 4.5/5?? Still the best film of 2008 (so far).

The only thing that kept it from a 4.5 for me is the ending -- it hits me as just a little too tidy, but that's the only quibble I have. You're right, it's a brilliant movie.

WOW! Great little flick!

Excellant acting, story, cinematography and location shooting! 9/10

Drama, witty banter, violence, etc - this one has it all.
