This is the directors cut, but to be honest it only has four minutes added. So why buy this of the previouse one disc version released last year just for four minutes? This is because the added bonus features including brilliant chat tracks, and amazing documentaries about the killings, that feature the surviving victims and the investigators. From all this you will be amazed how director Fincher managed to get the film so accurate.
This is a truly classic film, that is so good I ended buying both versions. But if you have not already bought the one disc version, then this is the version to buy.
Shocking, Insightful, Gripping and a modern classic.
