The original and the best.
Mark meets John Rambo as he enters the high definition arena.
His emotional counterpoint is the amazing, and sadly late, Richard Crenna as Col. Samuel Trautman.
Yet despite this it curiously received no nominations for any film awards whatsoever.
Perhaps it might have faired better had Dustin Hoffman taken the role, as was originally intended.
Err…maybe not.
As Blu-rays go, this one straddles the boundary between an acceptable transfer and mediocre one.
Some scenes are well represented, but others look chromatically flat.
Overall its better than the DVD production, but not astoundingly so.
Given the wealth of material that must exist, this represents no appreciable effort on Optimums part.
Theyve even removed the commentary tracks that appeared on the US release, for some arbitrary reason.
