Apologies if this has already been confirmed or not. I'm a bit confused with the whole 365flix thing. Is the DVD available for purchase here in the UK?

No problem! I am also confused. I really don't know what 365flix is up to. On their site I suddenly can't find anything where I can order a blu ray or dvd. It's shame that Attrition (finally a good Seagal film) gets this stupid release.

Looks like you have to register and then you can purchase DVD/Blu-Ray through them. Yes available to UK buyers.

Perfect! I've made the mistake a few years back where I purchased Maximum Conviction without realising it was Region 1 and wasn't able to play it. Been put off buying unless I know for certain ever since. May well give this one a purchase come next pay day once January finally ends. I'm hearing/reading great things

If your PC has a DVD drive, you can play it with software....just change the region in the software program.
Stand alone players are a different matter...you need to over ride the region lock on the 'chip'(change the bios) to make it a region free player.

No still no release date in Holland. And I am afraid it will never get a release here....

Hmm then I’m afraid too. After End Of A Gun there was no release of Seagal in Holland. I hopes for this one but I think you’re right. Do you know how to buy it then? Through the UK maybe? Or do you have the movie DiDa?

True, Absolution was not released here, but you can order it through Germany (bol.com).

I have seen Attriton, on a site where you can watch the movie online. I couldn't wait to watch it! The quality ofcourse is not as good as the bluray but still good enough:) I still want the bluray but than I have to wait until they deliver in Holland I guess.

My view of the movie:

This is without a doubt the best movie Steven Seagal has done in at LEAST 10 years. He's back!

Why?

1) Music. Great, asian feeling, mysterious feel, very very Kung Fu:) Bonus in the credits for you all. (He does a performance of BBQ, a song from The Crystal Cave. On of my favourite songs!)

2) Environment. Beautiful settings of Thailand, rainforests, small asian towns, backgrounds, asian style houses and interiors. And ofcourse the beginning with Seagal with long black hair, nice to see that. In the behind the scenes video you can see a bit more of that. Love the big budda too, at the coast. I love the smallt town where he is a kind of medicine man. And helps prevent someone who wants to kill himself.

3) Message. Yes, Seagal used to want to deliver a message in his glory days movies. Something that got lost on the way of later movies (specially on deadly ground, you know what I;m talking about haha) . Well....message recieved Sensei! But the message of this movie is not so over the top as that. Yes he needs to resque a kidnapped girl, but the story is different from his last movies.

4) Acting. Yes, he actually DOES ACT in this movie. He is caring, sad, laughs, calm, serious. Because for the first time in years he finally gets to do a movie he cares about. So will the fans. This is his dream project. He is really acting, love to see that.

5) Martial arts. Oh yeah.......havnt seen this great martial arts in Seagals movies since Belly of the beast and Into the sun. Absolution there was a nice fight scene in the end, but in Attrition it is really the chinese kung fu style, love it! Kung Fu, Aikido, Wing chun, Thaiboxing. Its all there, packed into a glorious martial arts explosion of precision and grace. Ofcourse you can see the stund double if you watch closely, but if you are just enjoying the movie then you dont notice that. It is not so obvious a stunt double as his previous movies haha. (out of reach, soooo bad, you can see a man standing which is NOT Seagal, too obvious.. so bad)

6) Action. What is a Seagal movie without a few gunshots haha. But this time its focus is more on his hand to hand combat, and not the gun. If you ask me they could have deleted the gunshots scene. Because it makes the setting a bit less peacefull. But it is part of the action!

He looks good too, looks like he lost some weight. (probably not but if you think so it is good:) But he definately practised the fight moves. He sad that before in an interview.

To sum it up, it is just a great movie. Thank you Mr Seagal for showing us all you can still get the job done, I loved the movie. I used the word 'love' a couple of times. LOVED IT.

365Flix won't be around for long...I could bet big money on it. They will obviously be around long enough to milk some money from General Commander...but don't give them long after that. Just my humble opinion of course.

What's on the 'Collector's Edition' that's not on the standard edition...
the videos on 365flix?

Yes i think so. Don't think there was a normal edition released anyway by 365Flix.

Yeah...but it only has Japanese subtitles....the movie audio is half Taiwanese
I had to find the English subtitles to add to be able to watch it
Same with Danish iTunes release. No subtitles for the non-English parts. :(

I thought the film was well filmed and much better than recent efforts. The CGI blood let it down sadly as it was pretty pathetic, but it's a shame the wider audience won't see this movie as it's so limited through the seemingly defunct 365 flixs.
