Is Joint Security Area (JSA) [distributor:Modern Audio] anamorphic?
I was wondering if this release of JSA was anamorphic or not. The back of the slipcase only states "letterboxed", but I'm not too sure. Can anyone confirm?

I'm not region-free myself, so the other option for me would be the Palm Pictures release, but that one only has the Korean language track in stereo, not DTS.
