The Grey Blur

Sorry if this has come up before but I finally got the DVD today & watched it, it was up there but it is now definitely my favorite film. I think the accents, nuances and body-language of the estate's residents is art. Vinz, Said and Hubert are probably the three most detailed film characters of the 1990's (and we only see a DAY in their lives). Sadly, what I really wanted with the DVD wasn't there...an alternate ending...I'll give this film a rating and put in the plot synopsis for anyone who hasn't seen it:
Film: 9/10
Extras: Directors commentary, deleted/colour scenes, trailers... 6/10
"Injured by a police inspector during an interrogation, Abdel is at a hospital, almost dead. In the rough Parisian suburbs where he lives, some riots happened during the night, and one policeman lost his gun. One of Abdel's friends, Vinz, finds it. Vinz and his two friends, Said and Hubert, have nothing to do so they try to kill time. Vinz swears that if Abdel dies, he will shoot a policeman..."
