You aren't the only person I heard say that. Obviously didn't grow up aware in the 1980's during the peak of the Cold War did you? The comic book was written during that period so there was a greater understanding and comprehension of the entire point of the story. If you don't know what the Cold War was then you aren't going to understand the movie at all...nor appreciate how true to the story that the movie was kept.

The Director's Cut was even more faithful & fleshed it out further..

I didn't see any other version. :p

You can now buy it or d/l that cut,j

Just rented it. I refused to give money to see the edited version at the movies. It was worth the wait for the dvd. Good movie.
