An excellant film IMO! Despite the fact that I first saw the movie at a sneak preview and some jerk next to me got up 5 or 6 times it didn't deter me from enjoying it. It would seem director Antoine Fuqua is moving up the "film food chain", a far cry from "The Replacement Killers". I also noticed the impeccable transfer on the dvd, its transfers like this when I'm glad I have progressive scan ability! The Dolby 5.1 is great but I could certainly tell that it wasn't dts because I had to crank it up louder than usual in order to get the same volume I would from a less compressed dts track. A minor point, one that's a long debate unto itself. I was certainly surprised to hear about nominations for Denzel & Ethan, whether or not they have a chance is another matter. Regardless, I can't wait to listen to the commentary, Antoine seems a very smart, down to earth type of guy.
