A definite buy for me.

This is one of my favorite movies! If it's not region free, I'll be modding my Oppo for this title alone.

How to modify the OPPO blu-ray player?

The Driver · 07-21-2009, 07:52 AM

Just buy a new Bluray DVDROM and set it to another region or get AnyDVD for your PC.

It's easy to mod the Oppo. You either install the hacked firmware or you get the new hardware mod which is relatively easy to install . Just go to the Oppo threads at AVS or AV Forum.

Hope they didn't use the Momentum Master. The UK DVD had not the same master as the Lionsgate DVD.

From DVD Beaver about the Momentum DVD

"The Momentum SE is matted to 1.85:1, vs. the 1.78:1 AR of Lion Gate, and is also slightly squeezed. The Momentum is cropped on the top and left edge quite extensively. It is also curious, that the Momentum SE is so hazy, it is dark and skin tones appear overly red. The Momentum tends to look saturated beside the Lionsgate which is sharper and also has better subtitles."

You're breaking my heart Svet, breaking my heart.

Send it to me and I'll review it!!

pro-bassoonist · 08-21-2009, 07:20 PM

I've been busy

The disc uses the old master. It is, however, very strong looking. There are a few minor issues, but overall I have absolutely no problem recommending it.

(Near Dark and La Haine had priority).

Still the minorly cut UK version? Not that the cut bothers me though.

Millibar · 12-12-2013, 06:06 AM

This was featured on Film13 last night talking to Alan Parker will this be getting a new release?

Can the directors cut be sourced anywhere?
