High speed interstate crashes, rounds of bullet casings falling to the ground below, and cars being thrown about as they weigh nothing to take out trucks and buses. Action like this is what we come to expect from summer block-buster films.

But twisting plots with traitors, blurred lines of command, and a blending of who is good and evil is usually lacking in action-packed thrill rides. That is why finding the world of intrigue wrapped up in an action film is rare, and finding it in a comic book movie is unheard of. That is until "Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier."

The digital 3D combo pack, Blu-ray and DVD will be on store shelves tomorrow. I’ve had the opportunity to screen the Blu-ray over the weekend.

There is no doubting that some of the best character development and storytelling for the past few decades were found in the pages of graphic novels and comic serials. The box office results from the past, say 10 years, have proven that. But what we have with this home entertainment release could very well be the best comic book movie ever made for non-comic book loving people.

All there has to be is a love for great storytelling, for good detective work and for conspiracy reaching the top levels of the new world order and governments. Heck, the story was so good that Robert Redford said yes to taking a role.

Captain America, Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury team up to take down Hydra, which has infiltrated the highest reaches of  S.H.I.E.L.D. Newcomer, Falcon, played by Anthony Mackie, provides the air support when the Captain needs it the most.

The film is action packed, and the extras are a fun watch after taking in the film and finding out who is on Cap’s side and who isn’t? Extras include the making-of featurettes, never-before-seen deleted scenes, a blooper reel and the audio commentaries that add so many layers to the storytelling of storytelling. 

The only two things I missed from the comic books were the Russian’s connection to Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier and that Falcon could talk to birds as part of his powers. Sure, talking pigeons into leaving their leavings on the windshields of the planes and trucks driven by members of Hydra may sound corny to today’s standards ... but in the second-to-last action sequence of the film, it would have come in handy.

Also, since Marvel is owned by Disney, this film works perfectly on the go as part of the Disney Movies Anywhere app for your phone, tablet or other mobile device.
