Colors are strongly rendered, without a bit of chromatic distortion or smearing. Blacks are dead on perfect, plus the movie s nighttime cinematography allows for an astounding level of shadow detail. Digital compression artifacts are completely out of sight throughout. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is aggressively mixed for the film action oriented moments, but in between, the track kind of lays back and relies on the urban music on track to fill the channels. When in the action mode, sound effects cleanly pan the soundstage, without any signs of sonic clutter.
Dialogue sounds natural and maintains full intelligibility.
The bass channel is solid- lending presence to the music and reinforcing the gunshots and explosions. A French 5.1 channel soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and French subtitles. Music has been added to the basic interactive menus. Through the menus, one has access to the standard scene selection and set up features, plus a couple of extras. Perhaps including the director and a few other cast members would have gotten the track off the ground.
