"Jin-Roh" on BD only serves to amplify upon the dark, disturbing stage this brilliantly subtle and intensely depressing alternate-reality drama of 1960's Japan is set upon. The plot itself is not entirely unique, but at least there is nothing here which interrupts our anti-hero's determined downward spiral into political conspiracy and double-cross and murder. This is a story with no happy ending, so beware! Colors, while better here than on other formats, are intentionally restrained to deaden the mood, but detail is excellent. The music score is even more compelling---and haunting---thanks to Dolby TrueHD encoding. Dialog and sound effects, as well as imaging, are all very natural sounding. Extras (consisting solely of trailers and teasers) are a bit puzzling as they are literally duplicated for English and Japanese languages, instead of merely allowing for alternate audio or subtitle tracks.
