Washington's investigation becomes a quest for a truth that has been kept hidden. Courage Under Fire' is an emotionally powerful film, not in some political or patriotic sense, but for the human qualities it explores. Courage, honor, truth, justice. Some of the qualities we hold most dear. Fox's tranfer for this disc edition is simply immaculate.
Colors are rich and deeply saturated with only the barest hint of chroma noise.
Otherwise, the image is clear and smooth with exceptional detail. Contrast and brightness are excellent. My copy of this Japanese pressing is quite nearly flawless, exhibiting only a speckle or two at the side break. The soundtrack is suprisingly energetic for what is, essentially, a dramatic film. The battle sequences are very dynamic with numerous directional effects and an aggressive surround presence.
