    Buddy cops Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Glover) are back with their guns drawn in a sequel that is just as good as the first. This time the delightful Riggs and family man Murtaugh are in charge of Leo Getz (Pesci), a fast-talking government witness who knows a dangerous secret about laundering drug money.

    Another title that starts playing without taking you first to the menu, supplements include a four-minute Stunts And Action behind-the-scenes featurette, a deleted scenes reel, the theatrical trailer, and online information.

    Colors are vibrant in the VC-1-encoded 2.25:1 Blu-ray Disc picture, and with its impressively deep blacks and well-rendered contrast, the image looks very three-dimensional, albeit slightly soft. (Danny Richelieu)

    The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack sounds better than the original DVD's encoding, although it isn't that large of an improvement. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #78 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to stay at the forefront of the home theatre industry, to help me find products to fit my needs, and to read about products that I dream about one day owning.
