2.0 out of 5 stars
Great Film, terrible Blu-Ray transfer,
By
This review is from: The French Connection (2-Disc English/French edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
One of the coolest of the 'Best Picture' winners comes to Blu-Ray....and unfortunately it's one of the worst looking Blu-Ray releases I own, if not THE worst. Apparently William Friedkin intentionally added a ton of grain to the transfer thinking it would be fitting for the style of the movie. While a little grain would have been a nice touch, he went waaaaaay overboard here, and honestly it's more than a little distracting at times. Some scenes look fairly nice, but overall this is very bad looking disc and a real injustice to a great film. You might want to wait for future, more acceptable BRD release and hold onto that DVD a little while longer.Movie - ***** Video - ** Audio - ***1/2 extras - ***1/2 Overall - **

This review is from: The French Connection (2-Disc English/French edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I own both the DVD special edition and BLU-RAY special edition of this classic film..it is true that the transfer in close-ups and medium shots don't differ from the DVD transfer but the backgrounds have more detail also a greater depth of field than dvd...way more detail and in many occassion this is where you notice a difference.If you don't have a special edition of this film, it's worth the purchase.
