Well the film is pretty good but some could find it a bit boring, dragging and grossly underplayed due to the sensitivity of the subject matter. I liked it a lot especially the dialogues.

I feel one of its strengths is the superb acting of the non-US actors in their delivery as well as the personification of their characters. It has tremendous rewatch value for me.

Open it! You can't truly enjoy the beauty of any steelbook unless you can see it, inside and out!

In my humble opinion, it is

I always open my steelbooks,so I can admire the artwork which is put on,in them.this one is really good IMO.

Again, as more and more folks get their hands on this one, it will gain a reputation of its own as a true collectible.

This is a great movie and steelbook for a huge moment in history

After seeing pictures of this, I wasn't that impressed with it, but I broke down and bought it from a member of somewhere else. It'll probably look much better to me in person.

How easy is it to modify the case from a 2 disc to 1? I've just bought the case only for this and want to be able to put the UK Blu-Ray in it. Would look a bit silly with the spare disc holder and I don't want to shell out for the DVD to fill the space!

EDIT: Found the thread on here about removing the spine artwork but would still like to hear from you how easy/difficult it is and if you steam the spine first.

Place some heat on the spine (hairdryer) to soften the glue and using an old credit card slide between the spine and the plastic frame until the spine lifts off.
Take it slowly and you should be OK. When I reapply my spine I use stix2 tape that I bought from amazon.uk, it's perfect for Steelbooks.
Good luck.

My copy is still sealed and sat on the shelf has I didn't see the point of opening it with being region A locked, and just incase zavvi popped one out. So I'll wait for the UK disk to be released .

This is one of those really good examples of a steel that looks so much better in person than the pics can show. It is great to have a true US exclusive (especially) for a US themed movie.

 

[blujazz]

This is still probably my favourite steel. Glossy and embossed all the way.
