This was very good all around with great picture and sound. I never saw the US original version and thought that the story was somewhat contrived. However, it was executed very well and kept me engaged throughout the movie. The HK release is a 2 disc affair with the main disc containing the movie and the second disc containing extra features.
The video is 2.35:1 encoded in AVC, audio choices included Cantonese in PCM 5.1 and Cantonese and Mandarin in DD 5.1. There was also commentary track which I did not listen to. Subtitles are done very well with minimal grammatical or spelling errors. However subtitles spill over into the black bar thus making this not CIH friendly.
