Movie
This is one of the best films of the year. Even though the running time is over 2 and 1 /2 hours, the movie plays at a very nice pace. The first half is Crowe's movie and the second part belongs to Pacino. I don't think director Michael Mann (HEAT) was solely showing us the life and times of "60 Minutes". I think he was trying to show us the real power of the media, and the ugly side of Corporate America. He succeeded.
Disc
The audio on the disc isn't Earth shattering. This movie is an actor's movie, so all you need to hear are their voices, which are recorded nicely. Only the movie's score will your surround sound get any kind of work. The video is flawless, and is a fantastic transfer. It's dark throughout, and the blacks are very deep and crisp. No dust or pixels can be found on this print. It shows Disney can make a great anamorphic transfer when they decide to. And now that they have fully backed them, we should see more great transfers like this one.
