Comments The sharpest image quality and contrast levels are clearly the Region 1's ... look at the wrinkles on Martin Sheen's forehead (cap n°4), there are more details. Region 2's too bright, blacks are burnt (cap n°5) ...

DTS tracks are quite good on both version, and extras are the same.

The UK edition has a German track and more subtitles on film and special features (see the menus caps).

The US edition has no French DUB.
