Format:Blu-ray
21 Grams revolves around the lives of 3 people, seemingly extremely different, who are bound together by a horrific accident. The title of the film, honestly, has nothing to do with the film itself in the sense that you expect it to. The Story jumps from different periods of each persons life. Going in the past, back to the present, glimpse of the future to some up the story with an ending aside by Sean Penn's character giving us a brief about the movie title and it's reference to the amount of grams you lose when you die > and inevitably how much you gain. The actors alone should get 5 stars each. Extremely powerful, absolutely outstanding performances all round. The movie attempts to highlight every moment of a persons life, whether you fear death or not, based on what one loses. This films storyline is exhilarating the way each fragment from the start is mismatched and seemingly comes together to have you understand what's going on, it was the only thing keeping the storyline alive as it was nothing special. Gangster/ex-con turned religious man (Del Toro) accidently kills a father & his two children in a hit and run, wife (Watts) loses all 3 to the accident and agrees to terms of organ donor to donate her husband's heart to another patient who is dying (Penn). Gangster/ex-con turned religious man battles with his guilt, Wife broken and attached from the world, Patient wants to find out who heart belonged to > Patient's marriage breakdown due to his partner's eccentric & unsympathetic attitude toward their life and starting a family. Patient finds comfort in wife who lost family, inevitably & ironically where his 'Heart' wants to be. Wife and Patient unfold into 'heightened depths of passions and obsession - with the promise of revenge of wife's family's death.
Blu-Ray transfer is extremely sad. There no immense detail and scenic landscaping looked like an upscaled DVD. Transfer to Blu-Ray was 'fuzzy'. The sound however, was incredible > crisp clear, unremitting and incessant.
I recommend you do not base your decision of this movie on my review.
Buy it, watch it, make your own mind up.

I can't believe no one has rated this film yet, great cast, great director and a great quality blu ray transfer and audio. If you enjoy gritty films that slowly unfold like memento/crash then this is a film for you. Not to be missed highly recommended

Format:DVD
This movie is intentionally misleading. It has a deliberately disjointed frame of reference and is shot non-sequentially.
The viewer is immediately captivated by the game of guessing just how and why the three main characters are connected to each other.
Each character is living a fairly normal, domesticated life which is intertwined with a much darker, chaotic sub-plot.
Super strong acting from some heavy weight leads, some clever twists and turns and perfect for those who do not like everyting handed to them on a plate.

The weight of the soul.
21 Grams is a touching, beautiful film, not needing any fancy special effects to portray its message. Great film.
The DVD itself has good making-of material.
