Shout! Studios · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Luc Besson

A-Tier Sony 4K. Luc Besson's hitman film with Jean Reno and a young Natalie Portman. Sony's steelbook artwork got some criticism. The disc scores well at 4.5 overall. Not a lot of dedicated collector energy around this specific release.

A-Tier but there are two different versions floating around and people mix them up constantly. The Sony US release and the StudioCanal UK release are different masters, and the StudioCanal disc looks better. Both the standard and steelbook StudioCanal editions use the same disc, so the packaging doesn't matter for picture quality. If you're buying this, get the UK StudioCanal version.

Arrow Video A-Tier 4K. Tarantino-written and Tony Scott-directed, with an Arrow disc that does both of them justice. Hans Zimmer's 'You're So Cool' theme still hits.

Arrow Video · Limited Edition

dir. Wolfgang Petersen

The 2018 Sony 4K is the cheaper way in but the 2023 Steelbook is the better disc, adding the Dolby Vision the original is missing and bumping bitrate onto a BD-100. Both pull from the same restoration. Reference-level video and the Atmos remix is the standout, especially what it does with Goldsmith's score. Die Hard on a plane with Harrison Ford running it. The floating-head slipcover gets ribbed in the comments but most people are buying for the line read.

A-Tier Criterion 4K. The color version had some issues that people noticed. Criterion's black-and-white films tend to fare better than their color transfers.

Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Francis Ford Coppola

A-Tier Sony 4K. Coppola's Dracula with Gary Oldman. The Gothic production design and practical effects gain detail in 4K.

Sony Pictures · 25th Anniversary Edition

dir. Stephen Hopkins

A-Tier Arrow Video 4K. The 1998 sci-fi film that people remember being bad but still love. Arrow gave it a proper restoration, and the artwork on the slip got compliments.

Arrow Video · 4K + Blu-ray

dir. Marc Rocco

A-Tier 4K. StudioCanal's Dolby Vision pass pulled more out of the film than anyone expected for a 90s catalog title.

dir. Phil Joanou

Imprint Films 4K announced for April, paired with Dark Blue. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, and Ed Harris in a forgotten New York gangster film that's been waiting for a proper release.
