Pretty good quality I will say.

This one is in sync where the previous wasn't. It also has direct audio, a better version and I'm so glad I only watched 8 minutes so far. Now I can watch a great release of this movie. Thanks guys, you don't always get the consistent respect you deserve.

V-9
A-8.5
M-7

Good release.

V 8 nice, a little dark in places
A 8 great
M 7 not bad


Posted by Darkness on 11-29-2007 07:51 AM:

v 7.5 (would be 8.5 if not so dark in spots)
A 7
M 7

Best one out yet. VERY watchable.

Anyone else seeing sync issues on this? and before anyone says anything codecs are up to date


Posted by slapper on 11-29-2007 11:52 AM:

@ bellcam
Thought so too, judging from sample alone that is.
It isn't right on spot, could be worse though.
Just give or take about 50 ms. It shouldn't hurt viewing pleasure is my guess.

Video: 8 (a bit dark in the "nighttime" scenes but still very watchable)
Audio: 7 (a bit of a hiss but alltogether clear enough to understand all lines)
Movie: 9

One Big issue I have with this release is the digital replacement of virtually all written text in the movie with russian (cyrillic). There is quite a lot of text in the movie and it really hurts the viewing pleasure when you can't understand any of these bits. Especially when the camera zoom ominously onto a text for half a minute, you know it is important but don't know why.

Great quality, but a little dark. Sound is loud.

V-8

A: 7 Good for TC

I agree absolutely. Not knowing what the text says greatly affects this release, especially when it happens right AT THE END!
From a skim through the whole thing, the video is watchable, but a little grainy and very dark in night scenes. The audio has a hiss behind it. Overall it is watchable, but the impact of the film's message is somewhat lost.

Video - 7
Audio - 5
Movie - ? Will wait for better

video - this one is very passable, clear enough to enjoy,
a little too dark in the dark scenes - could not see what
was going on.

audio - clear and direct although if you look close enough you do
notice slight sync issues here and there but nothing major.

movie - the russian subs were pissin me off but you got the idea
of where they were. Mad Murdoc is right about all the
russian text on all the documents they zoomed in on, that
put a bit of a hole in the story.

Now for my my word.....I realy got involved at the start of this movie, there were 3 stories going on a once, all related at different playing levels, characters were being built up, scenarios were unfolding and i was expecting a climax ending of the fuckin century when all of a sudden the credits roll !!!!!.......WHAT THE FUCK !.....it finished, just like that, no nothing. all these A list actors and what a PIECE OF SHIT !!

i was expecting a good political thriller but got nothing, just a half assed story about a politician and his motive, a jurno and her ethics, a fuckin collage kid and his confusion.

these WERE "A List" actors like 20 years ago.

anyways, i was kinda pissed about the climax; much like my wife is each and every day.

v - 7.5
a - 7.0
m - 6.3


don't do it - try and enjoy what little time you have left on this earth... personally i'd rather watch tom suck meryl's pubic sack, but that's just me i guess.

Good quality except night scenes. Could see nothing. Audio OK. Excellent subject matter and decent acting. Ending one very big letdown.

7/7.5/6.5
