Release
The distribution rights were acquired by Odyssey Enetrtainment after Fox Searchlight Pictures, who had a distribution deal with DNA Films after the release of 28 Days Later, were not keen on the film.

The film had it's theatrical premiere in Manchester on July 28, 2006 before getting a nationwide theatrical release in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2006. Shochiku released the film in Japan on December 9, 2006.

Odyssey Entertainment sold the distribution rights across several countries from 2006 to 2007. In the United States, The Weinstein Company purchased the distribution rights in September 2006. As McDaniel had heard about the Weinsteins' habits of editing foreign films, he tried to make sure they would not "destroy the movie." After a successful test screening in October of that year, The Weinstein Company chose not to edit the movie and released it in theaters on March 2, 2007, with distribution handled by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for "action/violence, thematic elements and some language." BAC Films and Kinowelt released the film in France and Germany, respectively, Alliance Films in Canada in conjunction with The Weinstein Company, Aurum in Spain, and Dutch Film Works in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
