Next, I watched CRIMSON TIDE on Blu-ray. Of the three Jerry Bruckheimer-produced action films that have come out on Blu-ray in the last few weeks (THE ROCK, CON AIR, and CRIMSON TIDE), this is by far the best. Filled with great actors, both stars and character actors. In the supporting cast are such people as Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini, Matt Craven, Ryan Philippe, Steve Zahn, Rocky Carroll, George Dzundza, and, at the end, Jason Robards in an unbilled cameo.
As for the transfer quality, I found it better than CON AIR but not quite as colorful, sharp, or three dimensional as THE ROCK. Great sound, though. Since most of it takes place on a submarine in battle mode, the subwoofer was never quiet for almost the entire two hours.
