Presidio [Blu-ray]

The Presidio
The Presidio, directed by Peter Hyams (Timecop, Stay Tuned) introduces us to an unlikely pair of Military Police played by Sean Connery (Dr. No, Highlander) and Mark Harmon (Summer School, NCIS) who must solve a murder at the Presidio, an army base in San Francisco.

This review is just for the Blu-Ray and not the movie itself, though it does star Meg Ryan as well, before her terrible plastic surgery face.
The movie comes with a theatrical trailer for The Presidio... yeah, that's it. Pretty lame for a new Blu-Ray release.
The video quality is superb, superior black levels, film grain is visible, and there is no visible artificial sharpening. A solid and impressive transfer for a mostly ordinary suspense thriller nearly 25 years old. Being that there are basically no supplemental features, Warner/Paramount was able to compress it onto a BD-25 with an average bitrate of 23.95 Mbps.

Overall, this film is pretty predictable and formulaic but well done. It's...

Had not seen this in many years - it's a little dated and not very accurate as far as the Army goes; but still a decent movie with good characters (Melanie Griffith!), and a good plot, Not everyone would enjoy it though.

Presido Blu-Ray
This movie is a great action film,with a wonderfull performance from Sean Conery.The sound is good and the remastering is great.Perhaps you might think that the movie has aged compared to today standards never the less I enjoyed it very much.
