Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels. The PQ was poor for such a good movie.

.... its 2.0 TrueHD lossless... 5.1 does not always mean its HD, especially if it was only mastered in 2.0

Day Watch and Night Watch. I would have had more fun using the disks as frisbees.

you do realise that was shot 95% on a Canon XL2 camera which at the time was standard definition? just to make you feel bad, sorry

(it was the look the director wanted)

The last scene is shot with 35mm and ook unbelievably good after watching the rest of the film.

Yeah, I have to agree with Highlander. I saw it many years ago and thought it was great. I bought the UK SteelBook version and when I watched it I couldn't believe how poor it was on Blu-ray. Surely they could have done a better job than this, or maybe the source is just not up to it. Movie sucked too.
