I saw this with friends about a fortnight ago on video, here in Oz.
We were terribly disappointed because the vid only ran for 60 minutes, and then was followed by a skin-crawling self-congratulatory "making-of" doco, which padded the overall runtime of the vid to 90 minutes.
So, is the movie longer than 60 minutes? I hope so. The version we were subjected to was slow; we're talking people walking as if they were on tranquillisers(!), so that shots of characters going from a car to a building took 10-15 seconds - way too long for an action flick.
We eventually decided they did this to stretch the film to even get to 60 minutes at all, and not for an atmosphere of dense terror. It just became utterly frustrating, when compared to the pace and intrigue of the opening scene.
