Leon: 20th Anniversary Edition review

Anton van Beek  |  Apr 30, 2014

Don't get too excited - it's the same disc you've seen before, only now with fewer extras!

Those of you who weren't exactly thrilled with the original 2009 Blu-ray release of Luc Besson's acclaimed action film are unlikely to find much to celebrate about this new 20th anniversary release. Like its predecessor it boasts two cuts of the film and seems to be based on exactly the same masters, judging from the AVC 2.35:1 1080p imagery's pushed yellow hues and boosted contrast. Amazingly there are even less extras this time around – just short interviews with Jean Reno and composer Eric Serra. But it does come in a very snazzy steelbook…

Leon: 20th Anniversary Edition, StudioCanal, Region B BD, £25 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 3/5
