So one must make allowances. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track makes ample use of the surround channels, although I did find the surrounds running a tad low in amplitude. There are neither shimmering highs nor gut thumping lows. Revell's orchestral score seems a bit pinched in bandwidth and sound stage. Some of the source material is mixed into the surrounds, immersing you in the rock and rap that sets a definite tone.
Sound effects seem compressed, with only modest dynamic range and audible punch.
The dialogue is clear throughout, every snide remark and rebellious aside. There are two additional Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks, one in French and the other in Spanish. The audio is supported by French and English subtitles, and English Closed Captions. This is a feature-starved release. This is a very odd little film.
