I love this film; it is full of hardcore violence, black humour and genuine emotion. However, you can find more in-depth reviews of the actual film on the other DVD reviews since I am going to focus on why this DVD is special edition. To be honest though you shouldn't get too excited about the new cut of the film since only a few additional scenes have been added, and they aren't really essential viewing. Disc 2 contains lots of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, unfortunately many of these seem to be repeat material. Also only major fans of the film would want to sit through all of this, since it becomes quite tedious after a while. To conclude I'd say that this is a great film but maybe you should buy one of the cheaper releases rather than this one.
