We don't often see Dennis as a smart person, but he handles the role without problems. Video Tycus is presented in a full frame transfer, which preserves the original aspect ratio of this film. This is a direct to video release so the image doesn't measure up to a major motion picture, but I don't think many complaints will be heard. This looks as good as you'd expect from a straight to video flick, and much better than I anticipated. The print seems clean and I found minimal signs of compression flaws, so the basis for quality is present right away.
Colors look bright, flesh tones are natural, and contrast is stark and well balanced.
I was a little surprised to find a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound track on this disc, but I am very pleased with the overall outcome. This mix won't blow you out of your shoes, but it sounds a lot better than the also included 2.0 surround sound, which I expected to be the featured track. The surrounds see some action throughout the film, but the impact scenes harbor the most power and range of course. Outside of those sequences the surrounds calm down somewhat, but you'll still hear some good subtle use here and there. The music is much better than I expected also, and uses the speakers to emerge in a lush texture here.
