Robert Downey Jr. , Ben Stiller and Jack Black are lighting up blu ray players this week. From what we’ve seen, action and hilarious scenes will come in bunches. If you look closely, you’ll spot Tom Cruise in one of his most original roles ever.
The plot to this movie is pretty simple. A overpaid Hollywood cast of characters get sent to Vietnam to make a war film. In order to better get in character, the cast goes guerilla and gets thrown into a war full with real guerillas. The result is solid comedic performances from Downey, Black and Stiller. Downey Jr. will be remembered here for the “white dude playing a black guy”.
As far as picture quality and sound goes, it stands up to most blu ray movies out there. Again, my TV has a little trouble displaying action heavy scenes. Otherwise, the film looks solid in 1080p and 5.1 surround sound will have you pleased.

Must Rent
Here’s a great scene from the movie when they’re actually talking about Blu Ray vs HD DVD!
