It's another impressive full-fat native 4K restoration from Studiocanal
The best the film has ever sounded

Studiocanal also does another commendable job on the extras front
Arnie was perfectly cast as the Soviet missile of a man who comes crashing down in Chicago only to get lumped with James Belushi's hot-tempered, wise-cracking local cop

Perhaps it's not top tier Arnie, nor even the best of the buddy-buddy genre, but it's a thoroughly entertaining ride nonetheless
