While all of the action is high octane, there are a couple of slow patches in the film that will leave viewers fidgeting. Both Jet Li and Aaliyah are very good in their roles, so they can t be faulted for a weak script that doesn t give them enough opportunities to shine. MUST DIE also features Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong, DMX, D.B. Woodside, Henry O, Edoardo Ballerini, Jon Kit Lee and Anthony Anderson. Image quality is excellent, with everything appearing quite sharp and highly detailed. Flesh tones are accurately rendered, while the rest of the colors offer vivid saturation, with no signs of chromatic distortion.
Blacks are pure, plus the image boasts very good shadow detail.
Solid authoring keeps digital compression artifacts completely at bay. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a high-energy action movie mix that is certain to please. Sound effects are aggressively deployed throughout the discrete channels, without sacrificing the intelligibility of the dialogue. Bass reproduction is very deep and very solid, so your subwoofer will get a chance to flex its muscles. A French 5.1 channel soundtrack is also encoded onto the DVD, as are English and French subtitles.
