Ratings and reviews

Have this on dvd. Got it in hd for Picture quality.HOWEVER for some reason this is not the 235.1 with the bars at top and bottom that the dvd is in. This is 16.9 with no bars full screen. This is the second film(pearl harbour) that has done this on Google both touchstone and both BRUCKHEIMER films and it loses picture not much but enough. As a film its great but honesty if you have it on dvd not worth the digital upgrade.

This movie is just edge of your seat throughout! NSA are watching you type of film! Plus who is watching you! I saw this at cinema and it was fantastic! Will Smith was so good in this film and he doesn't know he is being watched by the NSA! Gene Hackman a former NSA agent helps will Smith. NSA listens to all your phone calls and international calls. The action is superb and this movie is well worth watching!

The film is fun, but beware: this version is unforgivably cropped from 2.35:1 down to 1.85:1, which really hurts the film's cinematography. This is a problem that should have been consigned to history long ago.
