7/8/7
Video: 7 - don't get me wrong, Video quality is outstanding for most of the movie, Cocain did a really good encoding job. What's not so good is the source in some places. Picture looks washed out/colors look wrong (a little bit reddish) in these scenes. I assume it has to do with color correction gone wrong. That's especially noticeable in the scene the driver/Nikolai brings back Annas motorcycle at around 0:52:20. Subs weren't really important IMO, but it was nice to know what's going on in these scenes. So all you dyslexic folks can enjoy this movie, too.
Audio: 8 - it's Stereo MP3. Nuff said. Just a small question: how wise is it, having 48 kHz Audio, when you encode it to a MP3 that cuts off all frequencies above 16 kHz anyways?
Movie: 7 - really good mob movie with a lot of violence. But comparisons to the Godfather were a bit far fetched, IMHO. It's really good, but it's not great. Some character's decisions were not coherent for me, for example. But maybe I'll have to watch it a second time...
EDIT: changed time for reddish picture from 0:50:20 to 0:52:20. Screenshot: http://i10.tinypic.com/6okbebt.png - there are scenes like that throughout the movie.
EDIT: here's a Screenshot from the same scene of the 720p encode for comparison: http://i18.tinypic.com/820ge8o.png
