Killer Elite(2011)
An ex-special ops agent is lured out of retirement to rescue his mentor. To make the rescue, he must complete a near-impossible mission of killing three tough-as-nails assassins with a cunning leader.

Killer Elite boasts a first-class 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that doesn't leave a single fine detail behind. Simon Duggan's stylized palette ranges from dusty to under-saturated but never strays from McKendry's intentions. Color and contrast remain striking throughout, skintones are dead on, black levels are deadly, and delineation is perfectly primed for every cloak-and-dagger shock and surprise. There's a hint of grain, and it spikes a bit here and there, but its presence suits the film well and never interferes with the array of refined, wonderfully resolved textures on display. Closeups are nothing short of stunning as well, and edge definition is razor sharp, without any disconcerting ringing or aliasing to speak of. Moreover, I didn't catch sight of any compression anomalies (artifacting, banding, crush, et al), and there isn't a hint of noise reduction. If I have any complaint it's that crush is an occasional issue, even if it rarely amounts to a distraction. Suffice it to say, Killer Elite may miss the target but its video transfer gets the job done. Killer Elite Blu-ray, Audio QualityAside from the aforementioned ADR -- which is really, really terrible at times -- Universal's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is a blast. Gunfire kicks, explosions hit hard, engines roar, punches connect with meaty oomph, and Elite's already aggressive soundscape only impresses that much more with such an able-bodied lossless mix strapped to its hip. LFE output is a bit over the top, sure, but so is the film; genre junkies won't flinch for a second. The rear speakers are angry and assertive, riveting even, and make the most of every action scene, be it a silent assassination or a guns-blazing shootout. Directionality is decisive, pans are slick and smooth, and dynamics are frenzied and fiery. Dialogue is clean, clear and intelligible too; thin, tinny and cumbersome ADR notwithstanding. So enjoy, action fans. Killer Elite's AV presentation takes the film's title seriously. Killer Elite: Other Editions
