Jon Woo's gun fu throwback w/ Travolta and Cage going to toe to toe in a nice twist...Action packed thriller, with the steelbook cover giving you a glimpse on what to expect!
If you have been able to watch the characters of Leon, Mathilda & Stansfield come to life on screen, buy this movie now (Jene Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman bring epic performances to three very memorable characters)...this best buy exclusive cover offers you the reverse perspective of one of the two main characters...artwork of Portman on this steelbook is as classic as the Leon UK 20th anniversary steelbook via Sudio Canal...
The main character reminds us of the days of maybe Steve McQueen, Refn's visual style and Ryan's performance transforms this movie into an instant classic which may fly under the radar if you weren't following cinema in 2011... one of the best films of that year!
Though 300 punched you in the face with it's blood and guts action, rise of an empire does continue that journey...while it's difficult to duplicate the original and if you can ignore some history misrepresentation, you'll still find this Greek warrior film to be enjoyable.
