This is going to be alot of people's guilty pleasure. If you like your action fast and violent then this movie is definately for you. Admittedly not the best script or acting but in action terms there are few films that will surpass this one.

Format:DVD
Muscles from Brussels Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren (doomed to be eternally regarded as the poor man's Arnold Schwarzenegger) are well cast here as virtually robotic supersoldiers, in a script that plays up to their strengths (violence and destruction) whilst covering up their weaknesses (acting). It's a suitably big and loud film with lots and lots of well staged action, as two soldiers who died in Vietnam are revived 25 years later as supermen, only to restart their old enmity. It's a totally bonkers premise, but hey, when it's this much fun who cares? Directed with some style by Roland Emmerich, money has obviously been spent on the picture with lots of expensive stuff being blown up or dropped off cliffs, making for a thrilling ride to the big and impressively staged showdown. It's held up well, 5 stars.

Format:Blu-ray
Im not going into the details about the film this is about the different Blu ray versions available. The Lionsgate region free release from the US is much better than this version released in the UK. Lionsgates Blu ray has better picture quality and has special features, the UK blu ray has no special features. Fans should go for the US version and you can buy it on Amazon from marketplace traders.
