I enjoyed this one a lot, even bought it on HD-DVD. Now I get to watch it again and again until my now-obsolete HD DVD player fails!
Hopkins plays Burt Munroe as a little bit of a charming, somewhat clueless cadger. But ultimately he is, as you say, a likeable character. Moments of dramatic tension, few and far between, blow over quickly - pretty much just like in real life. There is no villian, no conspiracies, no "surprise" twist - so this is a nice antidote to current overblown Hollywood fare.
Follow Ups:
Is the HD-DVD in the correct aspect ratio ?
The DVD version is re-framed from the cinema's 2.40:1 to 1.78:1.
The HD DVD is 1.78:1. The cinematography looks excellent to me in this format; I wouldn't have known it was reformatted if you hadn't told me.
Shot in Super 35 which makes this sort of fiddling easier.Done to appease plebs with widescreen TVs who complain about letterbox black bars.
The original cinema presentation in 2.40 looks much better.
"Done to appease plebs with widescreen TVs who complain about letterbox black bars."So patricians wouldn't complain of such a thing?
Only the cinematically challenged.
