Thanks for another thorough and detailed review, Matt! I've wanted Warning Shot in HD for a long time. Glad to know it's a quality presentation on Blu. I'll be getting it shortly.

Great review. I watched this recently and by the end thought it's just ok. It looked like a tv film to me, particularly as David Janssen is first billed. Many big stars on the wane!

I saw this film when it first came out but didn't know until now that it was originally intended as a TV product. I'm very pleased that this disc presents the film so well. I'll place my order immediately!

I've streamed this in HD twice, about five years ago and recently because of this new release. It's slow paced but the story and star power counter the TV pacing. Picture & sound quality are excellent. It's time I purchased this movie, hopefully at the next WB sale?

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the review. I've always liked David Janssen, his Harry O series (which I have all) is in need of a facelift and BD upgrade as well!! Even in his the Fugitive series he was able to keep your attention.

My problem with the film is that the way Janssen manhandles all the exonerating evidence at the end, he's not exactly going to get himself off the hook as easy as he thinks!
