John still needs to get out of the country and Meg becomes his unwilling accomplice as they both try to stay alive and prevent the assassination of John's former target. The more I see of Sorvino, the more I come to like this beautiful and highly talented actress. Fuqua also makes the most of Chow Yun-Fat's unequaled physical ability to turn gunplay into ballet. The full screen presentation ruins the film's carefully composed action sequences, so stick with the wide screen version. The transfer is a knockout.
Details leap out at the viewer, as do the vibrant, well saturated colors.
Digital compression artifacts were negligible. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has an explosive mix, certain to give your system a workout. Gunshots whiz by from every direction and the film's explosions resound with deep, full bass. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround track, plus French and Spanish language tracks. Subtitles are available in English, Spanish and French.
