I have to say, this was a great action movie, perhaps one of the few movies during the last year that I've really loved.
The action is first class, it's not overdone, and it has jaw dropping fight scenes. The story and characters are actually developed, so you're not thrown into the story.
I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who loved the Bourne Trilogy, or anyone else looking for a nice, action movie.
It's unique compared to other action movies, no stupid, useless sex scenes, and the action is realistic, in terms of it actually happening. (For example, there aren't any scenes of cars jumping from rooftop to rooftop, or other bullshit like that.)

10/10, in my opinion. NOW GO WATCH IT!

I was surprised to here there is a 1080p version already floating around the net (actually before it was released). Not that I'm advocating downloading it or anything.

Was released on February 27th, 2008 in France, and earlier in other countries. Check the IMDB page I linked for the other release dates.

funny, i was wondering about downloading a video in 1080p 2 watch on my new 1080p ASUS monitor, I haven't searched yet, I guess I'll try utorrent for something or other? Would be fun if I can find something that'll work! I wonder how many gigs a full length movie in 1080p would be...

Yes it can be. Also keep in mind that is just the movie, no menu, no extras... it is in DTS though .

On a monitor 42 in + yes. Deteriorate of course being relative. It's not like it's going to look like a cam or anything. I'd imagine even on a big screen the quality would be at least dvd5. Not bad considering it's also dts.

If you keep a video in .m2ts format it will look great.
