Release in Australia is on Wednesday. UK release has been moved forward to 4th May. I hope there will be some reviews soon?

Yes. :) I hope it’s a good movie. After the trailers I have a good feeling. On the other side, we have seen good trailers and the movies were still disappointing.

Stupid cover. Looks like Steven is standing in front of an electric fan! And it makes it look like Steven is teaming up with Vinnie Jones. But he is the bad guy....

@Kotegashi , did you already find something about the Dutch release? This is the first time in years that Splendid is not releasing a Seagal movie.

I just emailed Entertainment One for info about the Dutch release. I have the feeling they are going to release it. Or otherwise Dutch Filmworks....

Much better!!! This one has 18 on it. Will the UK get a cut version also?

More than likely, the '15' certificate cover was a prototype, before the finished article. According to the BBFC website, Absolution has been rated an 18 (see link below) Nowadays there's little difference between a 15 and an 18 (in terms of violence and profanity) but I prefer the 18 certificate

No, nothing yet. Looks like Holland is being skipped this time. Found a site (zavvi.nl) that has it for sale but looks like an import of the uk version.

Peace

No way Holland will skip the movie :eek: Don't make me afraid :D. Every Seagal movie is released in Holland. I am sure there will be a distributor that will pick this one up (Bridge, EOne, DFW)
