There are some actors and directors whose name on a film poster or DVD cover will move you to check out something you may have overlooked. Guy Ritchie isn't one of them, but for me Tadanobu Asano is.

Like Ichi, here he again plays a man who has no beef with shedding blood, only this time he's just a tad less deranged.

The Samsung HT-X810 is clearly styled to match their TVs, the bottom curve matching a number of their models. We tested it with a 40in M87 model with which it partners nicely.

The unit is also bowed across the back, so when wall-mounted has that slimming effect. With wall mounting in mind, you'll find a fairly substantial bracket in the box.
