I'm not totally sure that this link is actually going to the 4K pre-order, although I understand why it seems that way.

We know that Amazon often lists pre-order items at their retail price prior to discounts kicking in later. This item is currently displaying a $29.99 price.

According to Kino's website, the 4K edition has a $39.99 retail price. Kino's remastered Blu-ray only edition lists for $29.99. See here:

In Bruges | Kino Lorber - Experience Cinema

Two Irish hitmen have been ordered to cool their heels in Bruges after finishing a big job. But since hitmen make the worst tourists, they soon find themselves in a life-and-death struggle of comic proportions against one very angry crime boss.

It is also worth noting that the disc count listed on Amazon currently says 1 disc. Of course, this could be incorrect on Amazon's part, but I think the 4K would be 2 discs, because it will have a 4K disc and a Blu-ray. So...I think this link might actually direct buyers to the Kino's standalone Blu-ray edition.

Or I could be totally wrong and this could indeed be the preorder link for the 4K edition.

I'm not telling anyone not to preorder. But I am saying that if you choose to pre-order, you might want to check back once Amazon updates the listing just to be sure what you're going to get.

I only need the remastered Blu-ray disc myself, so I went ahead and locked in my pre-order with the link. I've been looking for this on Amazon since Kino announced it. Thanks for posting, @Ronald Epstein.

Ron, will update the thread when the 4K/UHD Combo link is available from Amazon to post in this thread. Right now, he posted the separate Blu-ray release coming the same day from Kino.

Should this be a title I should consider purchasing?

Should this be a title I should consider purchasing?

If you are not familiar with the movie, I would recommend doing a digital rental.

The movie is from 2008 and was previously released on Blu-ray and digitally via Universal. So although Kino's disc will be an upgrade, it never stopped being available from Universal. Amazon is offering digital rentals for $3.99,

I love the movie personally so I certainly would tell you it's worth seeing. I loaned out my old Universal disc a few times to a very mixed response. Some people really dug it and others didn't get into it at all and thought it was weird that I would give them a movie like that. It is a very specific type of comedy and there isn't a lot of middle ground on this.

$4 to rent and find out if you like it would be a lot less than a blind purchase of the disc.

Watch a trailer for it. That should give you an idea about whether you'll like it.

Yes, I'd also recommend some sort of alternate investigation before a blind buy. It's been so long I don't remember much about it, but I do recall I didn't care for it much.

Loved it!

 

[PaulRossen]

A really good film.

Terrific film.

 

[Walter Kittel]

It is a fine film with nice performances by Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes. It was probably the film that really sold me on Colin Farrell as an actor. However, I agree with Jake that the film probably isn't for everyone. It is a pretty dark 'black comedy' with some fairly grim content at times. But it is also really funny at times. On the old DVD release there was an extra which consisted of all of the profanity in the film cut together into one single long sequence. It was pretty amusing as extras go.

My wife and I love this. So much in fact that when we went to Europe, we actually made a point to stay in the same hotel that’s in the film. (Granted most if not all the interior scenes in the movie are on a stage.) it really is a great place, and we went to the top of the tower and there is a ton of graffiti quoting the movie in the staircase.

I pre-ordered it from Amazon- a blind buy.
