Furthering the idea that there's no real creativity in the film, you'll find your requisite bullet-time sequence. The Art of War is by the numbers and, when it's not, it's so contrived that you'll have a hard time believing it when it's all over. As an action film, it has its charms. It just lacks panache. The picture quality on this DVD is virtually flawless.
Colors are bright and the blacks are solid.
It's a really beautiful picture. But that's it, and not many would notice something so trivial. The sound field is also damn good. We get a Dolby Digital 5.1 track and it's pretty fun and aerobic - jumping from speaker to speaker. The bass isn't too over the top, and the dialogue channel is clean and clear.
