Just finished watching this and all I can say is WOW! Let's just say that other regions have already received a sparkling transfer of an absolutely fantastic film! The dvd I viewed had Russian menus but the transfer was great! I will buy this on region 1 if they do nothing more than port this transfer over. If anybody knows who owns the rights to this film in R1, please post as there should be a petition to have this film released. It is Ritchie's best work to date IMHO! With all the crap that does get widely released, I find it absolutely maddening that a film gets penalized because it requires the viewer to watch closely, think and keep up.
