3 Disc Tin with photobook and postcards...

according to the link the running time of the film is listed at 99min, the version I just saw the other day in the theatre is 140min. Secondly, even though I found the film slightly flawed the action scenes were crazy, exceedingly violent and jaw dropping, I simply have to rent this (when and if Nicheflix gets a copy) to hear this in 5.1 (the theatrical print I saw was 4.1 - mono surrounds :( )

It looks like - from the listing at DVDAsian - that the movie is going to be spread across 2 discs. My guess is the 99 minute runtime is for the part of the film on the first disc. Confirmation is welcome.

Anyone know anything about the rumored "Director's cut" of the film? How much longer is it? Not sure if I should pick up this release or wait for a longer "Director's cut" to be released.

even in the theatrical cut there is a painfuly obvious jump cut (with audio) where one feels like the scene should have gone on for another five minutes or so. The last ten minutes also seemed quite abrupt and felt like the filmmakers were rushing to finish the movie. All in all, I think a longer "director's cut" might work to the film's advantage.
