This is an edited version of this film. Kind of defeats the purpose since the shock value is diluted. I enjoy watching foreign films especially those that push the envelope. Can't make films like that in US. This film is not for everyone.
Season 2 of this involving crime drama continues to chronicle the exploits of an ex-con who assumes the identity of a lawman named Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) in the small, out-of-the-way Pennsylvania town of Banshee. The season kicks off with the arrival of an FBI special agent (Zeljko Ivanek) who opens an investigation into the vicious shootout between Hood and New York mob czar Rabbit (Ben Cross), whom the "lawman" once double-crossed, and metes out his own brand of justice. Hood's former partner-on-crime, Carrie ( Ivana Milicevic), tries to patch up things with husband, Gordon (Rus Blackwell), and daughter, Deva (Ryann Shane ), but is spurned. Meanwhile, a horrific murder triggers problems between the Amish community and the Kinaho tribe, and during the investigation, Lucas and his deputies confront an unruly gang of Kinaho bikers. Local crime kingpin Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen) takes matters into his own hands and delivers a peace offering to the Kinaho in hopes of cooling off the hostilities between the two groups. In the Season 2 finale, Lucas and Carrie head to New York, where they prep for a final showdown with Rabbit.
The crime-fighting sheriff known as Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) returns in Season Three of this action-packed crime drama series. All ten episodes of Banshee's third season are included in this collection, featuring Lucas and his deputy partners Brock Lotus (Matt Servitto) and Siobhan Kelly (Trieste Kelly Dunn) and their often violent showdowns. Plotlines include showdowns between Lucas' team and felonious neo-Nazis, a kidnapping carried out by a returning character, and bloody conflicts involving various gangs in the city of Banshee.
Finally bought the entire series since I no longer have cinemax. Great action, plots and lead actors. Some seasons are better than others, but the characters are great.

This1st season of the show was unlike anything I've seen before. The fight scenes in particular were so raw and looked so real. Good story and great acting from cast. Just a fan of the series especially one where there are really no good guys.
Great deal on this double season(1 & 2) blu-ray package. Just a fan of the series and love to rewatch every now and then since I no longer have cinemax.
I would rate this more like 3.5 stars. I like the beginning and the character development was good. The second half of the film is where it goes downhill for me. Story was lacking and could have been better. Overall. I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than expected. I got it only due to black Friday sale.
