À bout portant(2010)
A couple's lives are turned upside down when the woman is kidnapped and her boyfriend must negotiate her realease. For more about À bout portant and the À bout portant Blu-ray release, see the À bout portant Blu-ray Review Starring: Gilles Lellouche, Roschdy Zem, Gérard Lanvin, Elena Anaya, Mireille Perrier Director: Fred Cavayé » See full cast & crew À bout portant Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Fred Cavayé's À bout portant arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of French distributors Gaumont. There are no surprises here - as usual, Gaumont's high-definition transfer is of exceptionally high-quality. Despite an abundance of very dark footage, detail and clarity are outstanding. Contrast levels are also consistent. The film has a modern, very gritty look that favors a variety of rich and well saturated dark colors, all of which are reproduced beautifully on the AVC-encoded high-definition transfer. The blues, browns, and grays, in particular, look fantastic. Furthermore, edge-enhancement is never a serious issue of concern (only during the subway chase I noticed some very mild sharpening). There are no traces of heavy noise reduction either. I also did not see artifacting, ringing or similar anomalies to report in this review. Finally, there are absolutely no stability issues whatsoever. All in all, this is an exceptionally strong high-definition transfer, one of the very best I've seen this year from the French distributors. (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. For the record, there is no problematic PAL or 1080/50i content preceding the disc's main menu). À bout portant Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. For the record, Gaumont have provided optional English and French SDH subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they split the image frame and the black bar below it. There are five, perhaps six scenes in À bout portant that are of near reference quality. One of them is very early into the film, so have your remote close to you. In other words, the French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track adds a great deal of depth to this quite intense film. Klaus Badelt's trendy music score also gets a tremendous boost. The dialog is crisp, clean, stable, and exceptionally easy to follow. I also did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. Lastly, the English translation is very good.
