Comments: The PQ of this film was very nice. It is encoded in AVC and is often in the low 30's Mbps range. I saw little to no grain or film debris. This was pleasing considering much of the film's scenes are dark. Colors were spot on, especially skin tones. I also saw little to no noise or macroblocking. In terms of AQ this films does well. It made good use of all channels in a 5.1 set-up. I listened using the PCM 5.1 4.6Mbps option. It used the surrounds frequently and made good use of dialog in the center channel. This film had little to offer in terms of Special Features. All we get here is a series of "being the scenes" featurettes and also a cast and crew commentary.
