New Line has delivered a great DVD in Blow, the third release in its Infinifilm series. The Johnny Depp-starring film about the rise and fall of a cocaine dealer has never looked better. The picture is top-flight, presented in a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen format. Sound is decent, offered in Dolby Digital 5.1, but in a film as dialogue-heavy as this one, one won't notice it as much. The extras are the true superstars here. The Infinifilm series invites viewers to "go beyond the movie" by offering features that shed light not only on the film's production, but also on its subject matter. Included on the disc is an interview with George Jung, the real person on whom the film is based; a commentary from Jung and director Ted Demme; "Lost Paradise," an in-depth look at the Columbian drug trade; a six-minute featurette on drug addiction; deleted scenes; and a production diary, among many others. With the Infinifilm feature, many of these features can be accessed during the film itself, taking viewers to features relevant to the scene in question. The DVD is excellent in all respects and is well worth the money. Hopefully, other studios will follow New Line's lead and include more than just EPK material on their DVDs.

Good picture quality. This movie has nothing to do with scarface Al Capone. Al Pacino plays Tony Montana and his rise in the drug world only to see him fall. Whats famouse about the movie is the line "Say hello to my little friend".
The critics and public agree. Brian de Palma's The Untouchables is a must-see masterpiece - glorious, fierce, larger-than-life depiction of the mob warlord who ruled Prohibition-era Chicago... and the law enforcer who vowed to bring him down. This classic confrontation between good and evil and stars Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, Robert de Niro as gangland kingpin Al Capone and Sean Connery as Malone, the cop who teaches Ness how to beat the mob shoot fast and shoot first.

Picture quality is real good. This movie is about Eliot Ness and the untouchables and the war they waged to bring down Al Capone. Heard that not everything in the movie is true but its still a good movie.

Very good picture quality. This is a very good movie about the court/jury system. I really enjoyed this movie but I'm not going to say much but watch the movie and decide guilty or not guilty.

Picture quality is very good, excellent! The film is about WWI and deals with the air war. It is one of the best WWI movies I've seen, I really enjoyed the movie. There is a touch of color, on the flames, when the planes get shot down and when the bullets shot out of the planes machine guns. Believe this was the first movie to get the first academy award. Very good movie!
