The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Reviews
Lexikon des Int.Films: "Ein Arbeitsloser, der seinen Kindern ein Weihnachtsgeschenk machen will, wird beim Juwelier gestellt. Er erreicht die vorzeitige Entlassung aus dem Zuchthaus, indem er seine Komplizen denunziert, die entgegen ihrem Versprechen nicht für seine Frau sorgten. Düsterer Thriller in der Tradition des 'film noir' mit melodramatischen Akzenten, atmosphärisch dicht und intensiv gespielt."
