I have noticed some moderate DNR and filtering on the Miramax disc so I am not sure if this is from Disney's encoding, or part of the original DI.

Probably the original DI since no new scan has been done since. It looks about the same on Starz and Showtime (where this film airs frequently for some reason). Some shots (like the flashbacks) were given a mild filter for stylistic purposes, and I had to check my equipment and settings, it looked so weird.

It has TWO additional commentaries - as they were both left off the international releases. Only the US DVD and HD-DVD had a commentary.
I prefer this encode over the older one.
Go for the Kino I reckon.

Yeah, the Kino release is a perfectly acceptable release. It's an older master for sure, but it doesn't look all that bad as some have made it seem to be. It's better than the DVD for sure, especially on a larger screen.

Yeah. The KINO release covers all the bases.
Underrated movie this. BEN AFFLECK and DIANE LANE were superb.
