It got a R4 release (a lot of HK/Korean/Japanese films do that don't necessarily get over here quite so quickly).

It's stuff like this that makes the demise of HKflix all the more annoying.

CineAsia have been doing an impressive job so far. It just gets irritating when major studios buy the rights to films like that and then don't do anything with them, when company's like CineAsia tend to get them released within a year or so.
You'd have thought a movie in the same vein as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon featuring one of that movie's stars and co-directed by John Woo would be an obvious choice for a hasty European/US release, if only a limited or direct to DVD one.

My impression (for the films I tend to buy) is that they're a little slow release wise- I always end up getting the korean releases from my normal Korean site rather than wait around. I know it could be all bound up in rights, though - Third Window talk about that a bit.
