Video: 80

Presented in 1.85:1 AVC encoded 1080p, 'Better Days' on Blu-ray offers a consistently sharp image with natural color grading, vivid skin tones, deep inky blacks, and clear fine details, despite occasional murkiness in night shots and minor shadow definition flaws.

Audio: 73

Better Days offers an effective 5.1 DTS-HD MA track in Mandarin, presenting clear dialogue and subtle yet immersive audio with good bass, well-executed ambient effects, and a nicely done score, though it remains front-heavy and is more subdued than an action-packed soundscape.

Extra: 20

The 'Better Days' Blu-ray extras feature insightful 'Making Of' segments on Jackson Yee and Zhou Dongyu in 1080i, alongside three captivating trailers in 1080p. Well Go USA's Blu-ray seamlessly integrates these extras, ensuring an engaging viewing experience that flows effortlessly from one feature to the next.

Movie: 77

"Better Days" courageously critiques China's culture of bullying and societal pressures through a powerful, if occasionally disjointed, narrative, blending raw drama with thriller elements. The Blu-ray release captures this emotional tale, highlighting its technical and directorial strengths while providing a gripping look at a society that often masks its imperfections.
