Various retailers have Ruthless People (Digital) for $5.00 - HD Quality

I've been tracking this for years and it's almost always full price. This is the best deal I've seen ever. Currently not released on Blu-ray, DVD only. The DVD is not Disc to Digital eligible because Touchstone pictures.

Is there any website with detailed reviews of the picture and sound quality of streaming movies before purchasing them on Vudu, MA, iTunes or Amazon? Such reviews are typically available for most Blurays, 4Ks and DVDs, but I've yet to find anything for streaming movies.

If I search on "Ruthless People streaming review" or throw in variations of "picture quality" or the service name, I only find reviews of the movie itself (i.e. Amazon or IMDB) or reviews of the platform (like Vudu) neither of which I need. All I want is someone who has watched the transfer to describe its video quality, graininess, and how dynamic the sound is to make sure I'm not buying a crap transfer. The old DVD (which I used to have but can't find) of Ruthless People was a pretty poor transfer. I hope the Vudu/MA/Amazon HD transfer is a lot better.

With some movies/series not getting physical releases, I'm amazed there isn't a streaming review site with these details.

This movie better be as good as people say it is. I've pretty much stopped buying $5 digital movies (even 4k) so I'm expecting a funny movie that I'll watch a few times.

I have looked for steaming reviews before, and could never find a site for that. You are right that it is an unmet "need" in the marketplace

I think it's a great 80s comedy with an excellent cast. It's a bit risqué with a bit of nudity, if that's a concern.
Is Danny DeVito nude in this move? If the answer is no, then I refuse to buy it.
