I liked it a tense thriller action mystery, no spoilers please anyone it surprised me during the last half.
Well the scratched region 2 DVD played without a hitch, if this where a 35mm print I would have expected the digital track dropping out and switching over to SR type analogue. But still I hate scratched discs, so there it is.
Picture
Nicely framed in the 2.35:1 scope format was clearly detailed for my taste brightness was good in the dark shadows during the hideout in Chinese lining shop, contrast in the outdoor scenes wasn’t overdone it was clear throughout. Colour had a good natural balance as well.
Sound
Dolby digital 5.1 with split-surrounds was a on the quite side of the mix it was blaringly loud like most Bruce Willis films this was a on tame side thou the odd gunfire or machinegun fire that would be suddenly accompanied with smoke grenade was tame it was loud, but even at 0db on the fader level. Dialogue recording was on soft side but clearly understood!
Surrounds had very little happening, even with centre back and height surrounds, it mostly carried atmosphere sounds or the odd centre back surround when Jack Mosley and Eddie Bunker, where cornered in basement, Mosley presses a button for an elevator, the sound is clear placed that made myself turn around 180º!
Sub bass extension and LFE.1was also tame it never overwhelmed or colourized the rest of soundtrack. I guess Richard Donna wanted something different from the blaring Lethal Weapon Dolby mixes?
