District 13(2004)
Paris, 2010. An isolation wall surrounds the ghetto cities of District B13. Within these walls, without effective law enforcement, gang rule is absolute. Damien is a member of an elite police squadron, highly trained in martial arts. He goes undercover to infiltrate a gang in order to defuse a neutron bomb and save District B13 from annihilation. Damien recruits the help of a criminal named Leito - whose only goal is to save his sister from the clutches of the same gang.

And the results here are not bad at all. The color scheme is well handled as richness and depth are certainly present. Contrast on the other hand varies given the film's composure and stylized look. Some of the darker scenes within the industrial premise where Taha resides tend to look a bit too sharpened for my taste but overall the gritty look of the film more or less blends and masks them well (unfortunately this is also the area where you are likely to notice some color banding). Still, the transfer does come quite close to having that solid popping look that appears to be enjoyed by a large number of BD enthusiasts. District 13 Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe following tracks are offered on this disc - English DTS-HD 5.1 Surround, French DTS-HD 5.1 Surround, English Dolby Digital-EX 5.1 Surround, and French Dolby Digital-EX 5.1 Surround. Right off the bat I must note that if you are planning on using the dub I must warn you that you are in for a disappointment. There are some notable sync issues to report here. As far as the French DTS-HD track is concerned I have nothing but great words to spare. It is very potent, active, and quite well balanced. During the action scenes inside the industrial building there are some excellent echo effects that should force you to turn your head a few times. The bass is also solid – it is heavy, with a prominent presence, yet not overpowering. The major issue I have here relates to the largely simplified translation of the French dialog (often dumbed down and Americanized) as well as the improper subtitles. The producers of this disc have basically created a hybrid of HOH and traditional subs that more or less will irritate those of you that are not accustomed to such sort of translations (example: throughout the film you will read "door opens", "gun shots", etc). Optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles are offered. Blu-ray bundles with District 13 (1 bundle)
