if your talking about my review....
"the B/W "filter" seems to randomly change...it is subtle but again my eye picks this up."

this transfer was starting off better then ok and I really had hopes, buy sadly the video went down a hill...I still don't get why the blu-ray.com reviewer didn't pick this up....I love this site but he was wrong with his 4.0 video score.

Hey, at least they are bringing it out at all.

I'm not excusing EB's crap quality at ALL, but a release like this, an obscure Jarmusch film, even one with Depp on the cover, isn't going to top sales charts. I give them a little props just for releasing it.

I wish they could do a better job of it, though. I wouldn't mind seeing this again.

do you see the pan&scan lines?...I do...I wouldn't buy this blu-ray if you own a projector or larger then 42'' tv...you'll really see problems from this botched transfer.

As I feared...that's severely disappointing...I didn't think I still needed to check for this sort of thing anymore but I guess I'll need to be more careful. Thanks for the confirmation, very much appreciated.

Well i received my copy today, and the AQ suck big time, i think is the worst bd in terms of AQ of the ones i've had. The PQ is flat, it's DNRed, and low contrast.

Lets hope the australian one its a bit better

Edit: Region A (locked)

Dead Man definitely features a DTS-HD Master Audio track. Watched it and surprisingly full for a 2-channel audio track. I thought the dialogue was very crisp and the haunting musical score really is a bright spot in an uneven transfer.

Received this last week and starting watching it. It's a beautiful transfer. No complaints although I am watching it only on a 32" LED 720p tv, I am pretty sure it would hold up on 1080p. The contrast is nice with deep blacks and crisp detail. Enjoy.

Yeah, I thought the same. The PQ was also very satisfying. This IS a low budget film. Not sure what people are expecting. Obviously too much. This isnt Avatar people, quit *****ing. This film has never looked better.

Actually the Australian versions looks much better

The Blu-ray is $5.00 at Fry's in case anyone wants to price match on Amazon or at Best Buy. I might finally get it myself!

TheOnlyTrueFilmFan · 12-19-2013, 06:04 AM

It has a few problems but I love it. The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp is a complete reserves remake of this fiilm if you think of it.

I don't think Echo Bridge has any impetus whatsoever to improve their releases.

Was able to track down the Echo Bridge double with Texas Rangers. Paid a little over $8 on Amazon.
