OVERALL: Draw

Between the R4 releases for fully uncut status and better selection of extras.

General note:
The following versions of the film are known:
- The R-rated theatrical version,
- The Uncut version.
"US R-Rated" version has been cut on the so-called 'Mirror Scene' where Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) in flashbacks, sees his partner being smashed against the mirrors in her apartment. In the US version you only see her being knocked against the mirrors three times. In the uncut version right after she hits the third mirror you still see the following: She pulls her head back an there is a lot of blood on the mirror. She then kicks her attacker against the knee, who then smashes her against a piece of wall between two mirrors. He then grabs her again, pulls her back and throws her against the mirrors again and you can see her actually flying against the mirror, breaking it completely. At this point the "R-Rated version" continues with her falling to the grounds and several pieces of glass dropping on her."
