Typical boring 70's kitchen sink drama with Vietnam excerpts. In my opinion it's dreary and i wouldn't ever watch it again.

The Russian Roulette sequence is a fantastic piece of film making but the rest of the film less so.

Don't just take my word for it though. Plenty of people think it's great.

For someone like yourself who only keeps things until they watch them i'd get a cheaper bluray rather than spending a fortune on something that may not be easy to sell again. Or maybe it will.

Maybe even get a cheap dvd, or watch it on Prime, see if you like it then spend £27 on the collectible version.

The first hour is just a very drawn out wedding scene with everyone drunk and shouting a lot.

You can always buy the anniversary edition if you really like the film.
