Starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Pena, and Danny Aiello. (uncredited Macaulay Culkin, so don't be surprised and say hey! that's that kid.), Ving Rhames, and Jason Alexander.
Tim Robbins is a Vietnam vet suffering from hallucinations and flashbacks. What's real and what isn't?
The flashbacks are of the war and the horror that happened there. The hallucinations are of demons.
There's also a palm reader that claims that according to his lines, he's already dead. He contacts some of his old war buddies, they are experiencing the same things. Well, that's really about it, without going into detail.
Minute 1:18 begins the good stuff.
As far as the Blu Ray goes, it looks slightly better than the DVD. It's still a little grainy, though, some of it is very intentional. This is a film with a visual tone, a little grain is appropriate, but the amount on the blu ray isn't acceptable. Don't get me wrong, some of the transfered shots are great, but most of the movie is lackluster.
This was a great film for it's time.
For today, though, it's kinda boring and inneffective.
