This is an amazing movie that is extremely clear and and fun to watch on blu ray. This is a must buy for blu ray aficionados. You can see Eli Wallach's excellent facial expressions even clearer than before. People have said that the picture is too soft, but from my own experience the picture is perfect from an average viewing distance. The image does seem a little soft if you sit inches away from the screen, but it is crystal clear otherwise. The sound is also very nice and makes good use of the 5.1 setup. Don't let the negative reviews sway you, this is a must buy.
