Default 'Darkman' - High-Def Digest review

Just posted Peter's review of 'Darkman.' He says this HD DVD release definitely delivers on the bottom line, boasting a new video transfer that's quite good, and a nice Dolby TrueHD track, to boot. No extras (which knocks down the overall rating accordingly), but that's nothing for this title.

Full review here:

Hmmmm. This might be a blind buy. Have not seen it in years but to see it again in hi def should prove to be intersting. My curiosity is getting the best of me.
