The initial version was shown at various film festivals and public screenings in 2008 and 2009, with repeated editing tweaks.
In Fall 2009, the director and editor created a "Special Preview Edition" (SPE) after their final intended go-round of editing. This version runs 116 minutes, and was placed on DVD with scene selections.
The SPE was circulated to critics and private parties until it was made available at Amazon.com through video-on-demand in Spring 2010, and through DVD-on-demand pressings in Spring 2011. The SPE has also been used in additional public and film-festival screenings.
A commercial-sponsorship arrangement is being implemented in Fall 2011, making the film available for free on the Web at http://goo.gl/HfU2c
Basically, the commercial sponsorship arrangement is an infomercial at the beginning of the film and the "availability for free" is simply a Youtube upload. Perhaps unknown to all parties involved, you don't need a sponsor or an infomercial to upload a film to Youtube. This said, the infomercial is well worth woatching, if only for its unintentional comedic value.
This arrangement is also planned to result in DVD and Blu-ray releases with a director's commentary track, deleted scenes, and other special features. It will also be available to broadcast, cable, and satellite TV. All these formats will use the SPE and be accompanied by advertising.

No. It was available for purchase from amazon, but was withdrawn from sale. This just after a number of negative reviews and a drop in the rating, though the timing could simply be coincidental.
No. Apart from one scene where a couple of badly edited pistol-shots are fired at an SUV, there is very little in the way of action in this film. There is a laughably poor "car-chase", but it is about as exciting and suspenseful as synchronized swimming.
No. Not in a traditional sense. Where the film tries to be funny, it fails spectacularly. However, like many films of this quality, (Mano:Hands Of Fate, The Room, Birdemic), there is immense comedy to be gleaned from the script, direction, editing and acting (or lack of, more accurately).
No. It is not thrilling in the least. There is nothing suspenseful about this film, despite efforts to make it so.
