Just received this video today in the mail after ordering it from timelife. It was an awesome excellent movie I read one review on here that said it was a waste of talent. Well they didn't make the movie you mr. whoever you are that didn't like the movie. It was very very good. Didn't even know the movie was for sale until I found this website and the found the movie.
