Everything is well staged and Robert Rodriguez proves himself to be an inventive director, cameraman and editor. The respectable looking transfer isn't enhanced for wide screen televisions, but it had to cost more than the film itself. However, you can see everything that the director wants you to see. While film grain is apparent throughout the presentation, the colors prove to be appealing. The Dolby Digital Spanish monaural soundtrack has respectable fidelity and will take a fair amount of amplification.
Subtitles are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
The basic interactive menus provide the standard scene and language selection features, as well as access to extras. If you are interested in filmmaking, then listening to Robert Rodriguez's audio commentary is an absolute must.

Instead of a guitar, his case now holds a small arsenal of weapons which he uses to dole out justice, while he searches for a criminal named Bucho. Whenever Hayek is on the screen, I know I find it impossible to take my eyes offer of her.
