Problematic edit for me.
Seemed more a reduction of the original dark colour scheme to pure black n white.
Video - I found the majority of this way too black. Details were often lost in the shadows.
The crow often disappeared while flying, the equivalent of the golf ball against white clouds.
A touch of brightening might have helped. During colour flashback sequences, details and clarity returned.
Audio - From time to time, I thought I noticed sync issues. Reference 33" region. Lips seemed to lag words. This was when I played the 4 GB mp4 version straight from an external HD into the USB port of a BluRay. When I viewed the same through the computer, everything was fine. Could be my set-up, or a glitch owing to USB conversion.
Opening with Brandon Lee was a poignant touch, and a clear statement of what HanShot had in mind. Also much closer to the original series of comics by James O'Barr.
