Director Stanley Kubrick's classic heist film and inspiration for Reservoir Dogs couldn't be a more standard DVD release, even more bare bones than the simplistic Stanley Kubrick Collection seven-pack, which doesn't include this film in its box. The reason this disc misses so badly is because it merely offers the film in its standard full-screen version, with mono audio. There's no widescreen presentation whatsoever, which is common in nearly all DVDs today, and the single theatrical trailer looks like it was transferred from an old used print. If there is a silver lining to this package, however, it's that DVD transfers tend to make black-and-white pop with visual brilliance, which is certainly the case here. Though not new, the transfer of the film itself still sparkles, with beautiful cinematography and striking images. The disc advertises a four-page booklet highlighting the making of the film, but it's really just a leaflet inserted into the case, with no more than 12 bullet points highlighting facts about the film.
