I can pretty much take allot of movies but not this one. It's because DeNiro does such a great job on his character that it's a combo of hating him and just creeping me out. His performance in this movie makes his take on Al Capone in the Untouchables look like Howdy Doody.

Holy fuck, awesome news! How did I miss this on blu-ray.com?
I check out that site hourly. Anyway, I hope Universal doesn't
give us another half assed (or more) transfer.

Hopefully this gets cleaned up, as I seem to remember a lot of edge enhancement on the DVD. Great movie though. My parents had never seen it and borrowed it from me a few months ago and loved it. My dad never watches movies so that's saying something.

I didn't care for Scorsese's use of splitting shots to keep two character in focus. I think this one comes off very dated and not in a timeless-y way like Taxi Driver or even Casino.

I haven't been to DVD File in ages, but they have the first review up. Sounds promising.

Video: How Does The Disc Look?
This 1080p transfer is lovely, punchy and impressive. The film-like quality of the image is amazing. Colors leap off the screen and are perfectly rendered, with no noise, smearing or oversaturation. Black levels are extraordinarily rich and deep, contrast is dead-on and detail quality is stunning for a twenty year old film. The source print is ultra clean, with blemishes, nicks and scratches all but absent. Even the minimal edge enhancement that was an issue with the movie's last DVD edition has been remedied on high-def nicely. Grain is also handled deftly, lending the movie a lived-in glow it wears proudly.

Ever since The Simpsons awesome parody of these many years ago, this film has been hard to watch without thinking of Sideshow Bob.

Looks to be a 2 disc release, so if anything, it's on blu ray. Have no idea what kind of transfer it is though.
