Transfer:
I think Mei Ah did a good job on this one. Granted, there are many instances where that "ghosting" effect can be seen, but that really doesn't detract too much from the transfer as a whole. Seeing as how the film takes place in a single dark night, the transfer does a solid job with the black levels. The film is not colorful in the least, so the only colors you'll see in the film are black, white, and the dark green of the PTU officers' outfits. Everything holds up well enough, but I can't help but think that the transfer could have been a tad bit better.

Sound:
Now this is what I'm talking about. An excellent, agressive DTS track is here for all to hear. This really does sound incredible. Strong bass comes into play when it's needed. Frequent use of the surrounds make everything sound nicely dynamic. The fantastic musical score comes through crystal clear, and the dialogue is never difficult to hear over anything. Nice work, Mei Ah.

Extras:
Sadly, Mei Ah skimped on the extras slightly. Other than the Cast and Crew section (which only tells you who the cast and crew are, without filmographies and the like), there's a trailer for PTU, and another for a DV film called 20/30 DICTIONARY that looks surprisingly good. There's also a subtitle-less interview featuring Johnnie To and a very cool looking Simon Yam.

Mei Ah has packaged PTU in a very nice slipcase with different cover art, similar to what Megastar does nowadays. The 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is pretty spot on when dealing with blacks and strong colours. Being a new film, the print is very clean except a speck or two. Mei Ah are a definite player on the Hong Kong dvd market.

Two Cantonese audio options appear, one track in 5.1 DTS ES and Dolby Digital 5.1. My choice was the latter and even though it's downconverted to 2.0 for my setup, it's a great enveloping mix that works very well the atmosphere on screen. A Mandarin Dolby 5.1 track is also included.

The English subtitles are excellent and are only missing the odd letter in a word here and there. This quality is what you expect nowdays from subtitling jobs on Hong Kong movies. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Main extra is an interview with director Johnnie To and Simon Yam (shot separately) lasting 17 minutes and 24 seconds. Unfortunately no subtitles is provided for this segment. The Data Bank has a plot synopsis screen plus cast & crew listing. The trailer for PTU is included and in the Best Buy section, a preview for 20/30 Dictionary resides.
