DVD Reviews of Bullitt [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Cropped, and dark (blu ray)
Summary: 2 Stars

The image is cropped, especially on the top and sides. I don't like seeing the tops of heads cut off in every other scene. It's grotesque.

The dark areas are too dark. Much detail is gone.

I'm new to blu ray. I thought they were supposed to look better, not worse, than DVDs.

DVD Review: Very Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars

I have both the standard DVD and now (unfortunately) have the Blu-ray DVD. I was very disappointed in the extremely grainy picture quality on this disc. After watching the movie on Blu-ray I inserted the standard DVD and compared a few scenes. The main difference I can see on the Blu-ray copy is that some scenes appeared brighter. Even on sale for $9.99 this was a waste of money.

Since initially writing this review I have decided there is one benefit to the poor quality of this blu-ray release. It will actually save me money because I now have no desire to replace any movie in my existing collection of standard DVD's with its blu-ray counterpart. Probably not the result Warner Home Video was looking for, but what they should have expected.

DVD Review: 1968 film, on dvd: Bullitt.
Summary: 5 Stars

Steve McQueen's best film, and one of the best car chases, in a film, as well.

DVD Review: Bullitt
Summary: 5 Stars

This tw- disc package is fantastic! Not only do we get to see a great movie, we also can enjoy a biography of Steve McQueen, plus a short on his influence on "Bullitt" plus another short on the techniques of movie editing.

Description of Bullitt [Blu-ray]

His new assignment seems routine: protecting a star witness for an important trial. But before the night is out, the witness lies dying and cool, no-nonsense Detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) won't rest until the shooters and the kingpin pulling their strings are nailed. From opening shot to closing shootout, Bullitt crackles with authenticity: San Francisco locations, crisp dialogue and to-the-letter police, hospital and morgue procedures. An Oscar winner for Best Film Editing (1968), this razor-edged thriller features one of cinema history's most memorable car chases. Buckle up and brace for unbeatable action.
Peter Yates's 1968 cop drama has its existentialist pretensions, but there is something seductive about its strained seriousness and Steve McQueen's intentionally stoic performance as a San Francisco police detective on the trail of a murderer. A couple of key action sequences boost the film's stature, the most memorable of which is a vertiginous car chase that Yates almost approaches as a dance. Jacqueline Bisset provides window dressing as Bullitt's girlfriend--worried about how much his job strips away his humanity--and Robert Vaughan is almost reptilian as an opportunistic politician. --Tom Keogh
San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (Breaking Away) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. --Jeff Shannon
