I just found out that this was released a couple weeks ago! The Patriot starring Steven Seagal. It cost less to buy from grooves rather than amazon. This is a Digibook release too!! The cover is hardcover like a book and will have pages inside (in German). This is a rare release for Seagal. I also have 3 Blu-ray steelbooks from Seagal (Driven to Kill, The Keeper, and Maximum Conviction). Bluray dot com says that it is Region A and B (C untested). You never know with blu-ray.com so does anybody know? Any Seagal fans have this recent release?!? I'm going to take the gamble for $25.36 US

No English subs?
Only German it seems.

It always baffles me why places like Germany do cool releases like this and the rest of us miss out. I'll stick with my DVD.

Never got the appeal of these book-style DVD releases. They look as if they're special editions but on closer inspection, most of the time they're no more spectacular than the regular DVDs. The book insert is just a glorified booklet and often ends up falling out of the thing the more you open it. Naturally, they often command a higher price just because they're a bit different.

Always found the artwork for this title quite funny with the gunmen looking as if they're fleeing from a giant Seagal lurking in the hills.

I am watching The Patriot on blu-ray right now again. The picture quality is decent. Definitely better than DVD. It is an upgrade!

I actually just found out about this release recently and have it ordered at this moment.
Hopefully be here in a week or so.

While The Patriot wasn't quite up there with the Hard To Kill and Above The Law quality, it is still a "movie theater" looking movie, as in doesn't have that "straight-to-dvd" look, as I recall.
It has been a while since I last watched it, waiting for the new Blu to watch again, curious and excited to see how it holds up for me now!

It’s a solid blu ray, it’s a movie I didn’t love when I was younger, but now going back to it it’s nice to see seagal like this again, it’s a nice looking movie and seagal is good in it, sure it’s lacking a bit in the action department but what’s there is solid.

I think you hit on something there.
Maybe compared to his greatest hits, so to speak, it pales somewhat, but when compared to some of the movies that were ahead, it comes across as a really decent movie.

And being a fair bit older myself now, I enjoy it more than I did when I first saw it.
