Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
