I recently upgrded my CAV laserdisc to the DVD and found that my involvement in this taught thriller was enhanced by the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and the slightly better picture (even though it is not ananmorphic). The story (about a management conflict aboard a submerged U.S. submarine during a nuclear crisis) is very believable and the acting (Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman) and direction (Tony Scott) are first class Hollywood efforts. The supporting cast is excellent as well. One you can return to again and again.
