Overview

It's a major double-cross when former police officer Brian O'Conner teams up with his ex-con buddy Roman Pearce to transport a shipment of "dirty" money for shady Miami-based import-export dealer Carter Verone. But the guys are actually working with undercover agent Monica Fuentes to bring Verone down.

Universal 4K Blu-ray

Best Video:

Universal 4K Blu-ray 25th Anniversary Edition (with Dolby Vision), comparisons: #1, #2

The 2026 re-release corrects cropping and grading on some VFX shots, otherwise it's the same master with better encoding.

Best Audio:

Original 5.1 mix: Universal Blu-ray

The old BD (2009 with many later identical re-releases) is very good, compared even to the theatrical DTS track, over which it has a slight edge thanks to discrete LFE (as theatrical DTS tracks derive LFE from other channels).

The 2018 4K includes a relatively tasteful DTS:X remix, the 2026 #4K includes a more revisionistic Dolby Atmos remix, with more added foley effects and a significant frequency roll-off. Neither of the remixes is as punchy as the original mix.

Criterion 4K Blu-ray (included in John Singleton's Hood Trilogy set)

Best Video:

Criterion 4K Blu-ray is better than the earlier Sony 4K Blu-ray, which suffered from low-pass filtering and poor compression. Caps

Best Audio:

Original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix: Criterion 4K Blu-ray, a better transfer than the Sony 4K Blu-ray

The Sony 4K Blu-ray includes an earlier 5.1 remix, which is mostly faithful to the original mix and lightly enhances and opens it up, as well as Dolby Atmos remix which is slightly more aggressive.

Criterion's release also includes a different Atmos remix to the one included from Sony, significantly more aggressive than previous releases, going for a more "immersive" feel.

Best Video:

Plaion German 4K Blu-ray > US Kino Lorber see comparison and caps

Kino Lorber has an exceedingly poor encode, only slightly improved by the DV layer.

Best Audio:

Original matrixed Dolby Stereo: Universal US Blu-ray
Dolby Atmos remix: Plaion DE 4K Blu-ray

Universal's BD uses the same transfer as the old LaserDisc and sounds a bit better than Plaion's, which has worse dynamics.

Plaion's Atmos remix is tastefully done and preserves the original mix's characteristics, the 5.1 track on Kino's release is overly aggressive and unbalanced.
