A few white speckles from dirt on the negative are visible, though I was hard pressed to find any other imperfections such as artifacts or pixelation. Chroma noise and grain is extremely minimal, resulting in a smoothly shaded picture. The 6-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack is very clean with only a few minor faults. Chapter 16 features a mild buzzing sound in the rear left channel on certain scenes, while the last quarter of the film has mild peaking on dialogue recordings. The vocal track is otherwise very good with no background hiss, a common problem that still plagues many a good movie today.
Dialogue is also mixed loud enough to be made out cleanly over loud background noise and music.
The rear channels are not as aggressively active as in most true action films but are still effectively used for ambiance, music and effects. Bass is even throughout though there s only a few scenes with enough LFE to give your subwoofer a real workout. Overall, this is a decent disc worthy of consideration for anyone who really enjoyed the file and is a definite rental candidate if you haven t yet seen.
