22 Bullets(2010)
A retired mobster goes on a revenge spree after being left for dead with 22 bullets in his body by his former childhood friend. For more about 22 Bullets and the 22 Bullets Blu-ray release, see the 22 Bullets Blu-ray Review Starring: Jean Reno, Marina Foïs, Kad Merad Director: Richard Berry 22 Bullets Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Richard Berry's L'immortel (a.k.a 22 Bullets) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Entertainment One Films Canada Inc. Much, much better. This is what the Anchor Bay-UK release should have looked like. First, the film is presented in its original aspect ratio, which, obviously, makes an enormous difference. Second, this high-definition transfer is practically identical to the one EuropaCorp used for their Blu-ray release of L'immortel in France - the only minor difference I could spot pertains to brightness levels; the French transfer looks just s tiny bit darker. Detail is excellent, clarity very pleasing and contrast levels consistent throughout the entire film. The color-scheme also appears to be identical to that of the French release (I've taken a couple of screencaptures that you could compare). Furthermore, edge-enhancement is never a serious issue of concern; neither is macroblocking. Even the darker scenes look wonderfully detailed and crisp (the footage from the underground garage, for instance, look excellent). I also did not see any traces of heavy noise reduction. There are no heavy artifacts and aliasing patterns either. Lastly, I did not see any purely transfer related anomalies to report in this review. All in all, this is a solid presentation that should make a lot of people residing in Region-A territories very happy. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location. Please note that the disc's main menu can be set in English or French). 22 Bullets Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. For the record, Entertainment One Films Canada Inc. have provided optional English and French SDH subtitles for the main feature. The English subtitles are yellow. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame. The French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track has exactly the same dynamic characteristics as the loseless audio tracks found on the French and UK Blu-ray releases of L'immortel. The bass is potent and punchy, the rear channels very active and intelligently used, and the high-frequencies not overdone. The execution scenes in the underground garage, for instance, sounds terrific. The various opera excerpts are also lovely. The dialog is crisp, clean, stable, and exceptionally easy to follow. Finally, there are absolutely no pops, cracks, hissings, or audio dropouts to report in this review. The English translation is very good.
