Blue ray disc of The Killers
Does anyone know much about the extra five minutes or so that is on this version of the film? And any of the extras? Is there any bad language in it or is there any more severe violence in it?
shareCriterion will be releasing a Blu-ray edition of "The Killers" in the U.S. on July 7, 2015.
Special Features:
New high-definition digital restorations of both films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-rays

The Killers has been out on Blu-ray for a while in England although it does not seem to have all of the extras that it looks like the USA release is going to have. I bought it a couple of months ago so it is unlikely that I'll buy it again. Thanks for the info though.
