Strong dual-layered, progressive and anamorphic transfer from Image Entertainment on this, presumably, new print (restored?) that is also being offered in Blu-ray on February 5th HERE. I never owned the Fox/Lorber (Wellspring) 'Masterworks' edition, which now appears to be out-of-print, or I would have compared. I strongly suspect this newer edition to be superior in terms of image quality. It exhibits exceptional detail at times and it is no wonder this will be bumped to 1080 resolution. It does however have a shade of edge enhancement. Night scenes tend to look a bit 'unusual' and there is some noise present, but it is minor. There are some barely visible speckles and considering it is almost 30 years old looks very good overall. Hopefully the captures below will bear this out to some degree.  

The unremarkable audio is consistent and clear - it is supported by optional English (CC) or Spanish subtitles. Extras include a 40 minute documentary on The Boer War - very historical but interesting for those keen (it must have been taken from television but I don't know exactly where). There is also a 30 second promotional radio spot. There are no trailers or liner notes.

The film is powerful and those into military courtroom dramas (evoking Kubrick's Paths of Glory or Ford's magnificent Sergeant Rutledge) with flashbacks, will certainly feel at home. Performances are top notch and this is so enjoyable I'm definitely seduced into obtaining the Blu-ray. Wowser.
