Product was in perfect condition, the product was the original movie version. The movie itself was a whodunit with a very surprise ending that you don't see coming until the end. October 21, 2009

rating: 3 QuoteGood movie; lousy Blu-RayQuote
The movie, of course, is great. The video quality is not so awesome for a Blu-Ray disc, though -- it's 10-15mbps MPEG-2. September 26, 2009

rating: 4 QuoteBeautiful but disappointingQuote
The film itself is worthy of a very strong five-star rating, but since this Blu-Ray offers nothing beyond the film itself, my rating reflects my disappointment.

While it's fantastic to have one of my favorite films of all time in high definition at last, the extras here are non-existent. Not only did they not do anything special for the Blu-Ray, they didn't even port over the extras from the MGM Special Edition DVD that came out a few years ago, and there's some excellent stuff on that DVD.

Shame on Fox/MGM for this inexcusably-lacking release. August 26, 2009

What can I say about this suspense thriller that hasn't been said before? The twists and turns abound until the final minutes of the movie. "And just like that, he's gone." Excellent, tour-de-force performances from everyone. SPOILER WARNING!!! Pay attention to Verbal (Kevin Spacey) in the scene where Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) is yelling at him. SPOILER OVER!!! My only gripe is that Christopher McQuarrie didn't appear in any of the featurettes located on the flip side of the disc (though he briefly appears in the introduction to one of the featurettes). I highly recommend this movie. You'll be surprised. The movie is also very well-written by Christopher McQuarrie and expertly directed by Bryan Singer (both of them would reunite to, respectively, co-write [with Nathan Alexander] and direct "Valkyrie"; please see my review on that equally excellent movie). This movie should have been rated PG-13 for violence and some language. August 22, 2009
