This is indeed a good movie. I thought the trailer was pretty crap but I was surprised by this one. Sure there's some crappy CG here & there and a bit too much wire use for fight scenes but the story is good & the fights are generally entertaining to watch

Was considering importing this (from the UK) but Australia will get a local release next month and will only cost $15. The drawback is an ugly cover but the PQ may be better *shrugs*

The PQ, along with everything else, is exemplary on the UK release.

How does it compare to the HK disc?

offical review says its better.

This was shot digitally, so I'm assuming most releases will be broadly the same, give or take a little tweaking by the local distributor (hence the difference between the UK and HK versions). The picture on the UK version is great, and the Bey Logan commentary is worth a listen. The other extras aren't up to much though.

I love a good Bey Logan audio commentary
