Great film, no need to add anything more.

Will not be buying.

Apparently DePalma supervised this new cut of the film.

De Palma a la Mod wrote:According to DVDActive, Sony today announced that it will release an "extended cut" of Brian De Palma's Casualties Of War on DVD April 25th. De Palma has confirmed that he did indeed oversee the new cut of the film for this DVD release. This means that we will finally see the film De Palma had originally wanted us to see back in 1989...

De Palma's original cut of the film did not play well to a preview audience in Boston, who found it "too stark, too full of sorrow," according to Julie Salamon's account in The Devil's Candy.

So it's a genuine director's cut, not the piffle Warners trying on with the Lethal Weapon sequels. I'd still wait for reviews....

should make these releases with seamless branching, giving the option of theatrical/extended. cuts.
