Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Rising Sun comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a decent disc from 20th Century Fox that will satisfy fans of the film, but does nothing to reach those who ignored it during its theatrical release.
Two excellent actors (Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes) are called to Japan to solve a murder mystery. Shows a part of Japan rarely seen outside of the country.
Truly outstanding film with top notch acting by Leonardo Di Caprio. Will keep the viewer glued to your seat. The actors were so good that I found myself totally engrossed in the story.
Copycat is a story of trying to catch a person who is a copycat serial killer. Loaded with action and very interesting storyline with a top notch cast.
Both a rich character study of a defeated middle-aged alcoholic and an engrossing "little guy against the system" courtroom drama, the budget-priced DVD release of this Paul Newman vehicle shows that The Verdict merits repeated viewings. A major hit in its day and nominated for five Academy awards, this is the kind of mainstream American movie that rarely gets made in Hollywood anymore. The disc returns the movie to its original theatrical aspect ratio with a pristine widescreen anamorphic transfer that shows off Andrzej Bartkowiak's starkly beautiful cinematography. The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono track is crisp, well-balanced, and does justice to Johnny Mandel's subtle score. The finest of the DVD extras is top director Sidney Lumet's audio commentary track. This highly rewarding master class in filmmaking also features Newman, but he basically turns up for what can be described as an audio cameo appearance and offers a few comments towards the end of the movie. While Newman is always a welcome presence, this really is basically Lumet's show. Unlike so many directors, Lumet uses the opportunity go into the decision-making process of his movie with great depth, rather than just give off-the-cuff praise to actors or amusing anecdotes. The disc also comes with a featurette on the movie itself, but it doesn't come anywhere near being as in-depth or interesting as Lumet's commentary track.
Paul Newman stars as an attorney who has to come to grips with his alcoholism to give an accused individual a first class defense. Very engrossing film.
