omg exellent work tun & so fast wot wore can i say

9/9/8

can't say much more. Let me tell you though, the ts for saosin is not really much further away than this. Let's face it, the ts was one of the best ts I have ever seen since Garfield and Dodgeball. THis one, the picture quality is better but not by much. What shines more here is the sound since it's direct while Saosin was not.

9/9/8 - I liked this movie a lot. Do not know why it is getting terrible reviews from all around because it's a good movie.

A good TC from TUN and as mentioned earlier the loud crackle on the action scenes will make this the winner for me.
Both are great though.
9/9/8 thx

gregtheman, i think u shud rephrase that, it sounds like u have sed that this has a large crackle, and it cud make people vote badly etc.

What he means is that soasin version had crackle.

moby008 and toasters shud be banned from this site, they are constantly giving good releases bad quality votes, moby has given this release a 1 for video and 1 for audio, thus dragging the overall average down.
Looks great to me

9/9/?

::EDIT:: They cannot be prevented from voting but considering it's an AVERAGE they shouldn't be able to affect it too much - NS::

nice TUN, you guys continue to shine, video is clear and crisp/ audio is on the mark and its a bit better then SAOSiN but i'm for one am gonna keep the other releases ..

btw how about someone do "Be Cool" instead of wasting a good TC on this already wonder 2disc TS version

9/9.5/8

Very nice TC cant say anything bad about it.
Sound is spot on, and the movie itself was quite good.

Hostage man 5days after theater release...Nice...

9/10/9 Movie was great. One of Bruce's best films, too bad its not getting enough hype and advertising. Worth watching. Colors are great I like the dragon fly cheyenne intro...and the sound is super bassed up for the surround sound. No sync issues and nice everything...TUN owns!

The release of the year

This is the best quality release ive seen this year Oscar Nod for u guys

9/9/7

man, just when i get saosin's ts this shows up. Damn u tun !!! heh jk release looks really good. gonna have to grab it .

Nothing more to be said other than where is a decent Be Cool release TUN. Just Kidding. Great Job on this one. The SAOSIN copy was damn fine and this one is just over the top of theirs NO angle and Super sound. Tun continues to impress us all with their quality. DAMN nice and fast too. Mega PROPS go out to TUN


9/9/8

another great release from TUN 9/9/9

Damn this is fast, though the TS would be the best release for a while.

Quality is nice on this one, nice and clear and colours are good.

Audio is great too, no problems found.

Only fault is TUN's constant use of CBR, making this 3CD's, this film is about 109mins, no need for 3CDs, i know they mention it the NFO, but its nothing to do with quality, its laziness, still a great release though, cheers guys.

9/9/?

I personally like more cds, better quality doesn't hurt...

So Much better than SAOSIN release!
Couldn`t understand why everyone raving about it, This release you can actually see what happening in dark scenes (which is a big part of movie!) A lot better sound to!
9/8/7.5

lets put our hands together and give TUN and SAOSIN 3 cheers for their efforts lately.They have churned out a few great quality telecines and telesyncs recently and credit must be given where its due.

Only seen the sample of this one but im pretty sure you cant go wrong no matter what version you grab as TUN'S telecine and SAOSIN'S telesync are both good quality.

all i gotta say is tun is wet

this is a good psycho thriller with lots of action and suspense and very likeable charaters. this is by far the best copy available and its a telecine. "tun, i wanna have your baby"

movie is by telecine standards and not telesync 8.5 video very nice and audio was perfect on my surround sound 8.5 and the movie is 7 out of 10

just my opinion

9 / 8 / 8 .....

These Hostage releases, all so fast and so good. What more can you ask for!!

I really enjoyed the movie too, and even I can't deny the quality of Bruce's acting in this one, especially the numerous tears he sheds throughout. Kinda threw me that did!

Keep up the good work Tasosin, TUN and all you other sceners.

Amazing quality video. I often forgot I was watching a Telecine rather than a DVD Rip.

Video was amazing, great colors and wonderful definition. It had a slight wobbling every now and then, but that's to be expected with a Telecine. The only issue I had with it was that in a few places there was a horizontal line across the video, which appeared to be some sort of encoding glitch rather than a flaw in the source. Still, solid 9.5. Too bad the vote system doesn't have that option.

Audio was crisp, vibrant and full. I heard the highest highs and the lowest lows, and the volume was fine. I'd give this a 10 for quality, but...

I'm sure a lot of people haven't noticed this, but the framerate on this movie is wrong, all wrong. This is encoded as a 25fps PAL SVCD; however, it was obvious to me after listening to a few parts in the movie that the framerate hadn't been converted from 23.976fps, only sped up. European theaters do this because they think nobody will notice.

Want proof? The movie is split into three files of lengths 40:13, 40:14 and 28:00, adding up to about 108.5m. IMDB for the film says it has a runtime of 113m. Divide 108.5 by 23.976, multiply it by 25 and you get 113. (and change)

Anyway, I'm surprised nobody in TUN noticed this. It wouldn't have taken much effort to convert it to the proper framerate, probably a few options checked in the encoder settings. Nonetheless, TUN has done an amazing job with this one. Like I said, I often forgot I was watching a Telecine rather than a DVD Rip.

Oh yeah, movie was damn enjoyable. A welcome return of Bruce Willis action movies. Solid 9.

Final result: 9.5/9/9

sample quality is ok, but the stutter is putting me off theD/L

video = 8 ...u had me at colors

audio = 8 ...tis dts but tis too low.

movie = 7...some would say this could of ended if he just let the rich family die, others would say, but its people! a good flick, action insano...good old cowboy in white hat ending...amen.

110 mins ? not dvd src ? should be 2 cds..cant deny it, quality would have been just nice....3 cds would be ok if dvd, but even been seen accepted as 2...

damn fine release, folks. i'm rather impressed at how quickly this tc was released.

of course, the xvid format would have fit the movie on 2 CDs and at a higher quality. still, damn fine.

Anyone Notice a slight audio glitch at the very start of CD3. when Encoding to DVD, that glitch knocks audio out of sync.
