Being a new film this Universe 1.85:1 transfer looks dull. Colours are muted and there lies a softness over the print. It's damage free though but it should've been better coming from Universe.

The Cantonese 5.1 Dolby Digital track sticks to center for the clear dialogue and a select few instances of music gets spread out across the front. Detected one heavy use of surround in a rain scene and that sounded just fine. A Mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.

The English subtitles does it's job but had a few spelling errors. Some signs with Chinese text does not get translated which is a shame cause there might've been a joke there. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Extras include a Making Of+Trailer segment that lasts for 3 minutes and 56 seconds. The Making Of is nothing more than a few short interview bits and more NG shots that is then followed by the theatrical trailer. The second extra is the Star's Files section that features text and filmographies on Eason Chan, Do Do Cheng, Miriam Yeung and Eric Tsang. None for director Derek Chiu though.

Picture: Non-anamorphic. Colours could be better as they are often quite soft and darker scenes suffer from being grainy. Skin tones are reasonable, but should have been slightly more realistic considering how new the film is.

Sound: DD 5.1 Cantonese or Mandarin soundtracks with English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese subtitles (removable).

Trailers: None.

Talent Files: Eason Chan, Do Do Cheng, Miriam Yeung and Eric Tsang.

Extras: 'Making Of' with a trailer featured. Mostly unsubtitled, but clips from film have burnt in subtitles.
