But Mac is not one to trust another thief lightly and insists on rigorous training. Their deepening distrust threatens to destroy the partnership, but the promise of an even bigger take a phenomenal 8 billion dollars keeps them working together. Director Jon Amiel has had a checkered past with some of his films, but Entrapment flows effortlessly and works well with good casting, a fun story and more than enough action and suspense to keep you enthralled until the end. Entrapment SE s video quality is excellent and is one of the major differences between the standard and Special Editions. Object edges are smooth and pleasing without visible aliasing, while color graduations are even and rich.
Black levels are well calibrated while dirt and lint are practically non-existent.
Overall I felt the transfer was a little dark, though that could have been intentional. The 5.1 audio on this disc is a mixed bag. While the orchestral score is crisp and clear with good dynamic range throughout, I found dialogue track to be very inconsistent during the first half of the film. Some recordings appeared to be sampled at a very low rate or had noticeable background noise, while most others appeared to be poorly mastered overdubs or takes where the original quality level was not maintained. Almost as if they decided to rewrite the story after it was filmed.
