The subtitles were illegible

White subtitles, without a black border on the letters? In a brightly lit movie, in which a good portion of the screen is white for about 25% of all scenes? Are you kidding me?

Agreed; it was awful.

That definitely was a distraction.

This has been a problem with almost every subtitled movie I've seen in theaters in the past several years (the most recent example I recall being Gomorra).

That's too bad. At least these things usually get fixed come the DVD release.

I've come to expect it on bad Thai horror movies, not movies like this. Ugh, thanks for the warning.

They're perfectly clear on the R2 DVD.

Buy a better DVD/Divx player where you can set font of subtitles or watch movies on PC.
