Last Chance Harvey Blu-rayStarz / Anchor Bay | 2008 | 93 mins | Rated PG-13 | May 05, 2009
Last Chance Harvey(2008)Drama | Romance ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() New Yorker Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss (Richard Schiff) that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter's wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting -- or else. Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter (Liane Balaban) has chosen to have her stepfather (James Brolin) walk her down the aisle instead of him. Doing his best to hide his devastation, he leaves the wedding before the reception in hopes of getting to the airport on time, but misses his plane anyway. When he calls his boss, he is fired on the spot. For more details about Last Chance Harvey on Blu-ray, see the Last Chance Harvey Blu-ray Review Last Chance Harvey Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Last Chance Harvey features a rather uninteresting 1080p transfer presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Neither a reference-quality image nor problem-filled transfer, this one suitably delivers the film's visual content in this high definition presentation. Most notable are slightly disappointing blacks that crop up from time to time, appearing a bit too bright. However, the entirety of the image appears faintly saturated and features an ever-so-slight soft glow about it, so the bright blacks don't particularly surprise in context. The image is generally sharp but colors don't appear incredibly vibrant. Fine details are adequately reproduced, most impressive are the several daytime outdoor London scenes where green leaves and brick façades appear nicely rendered. There is nothing earth-shattering with this one, but it suffices for the style of film it accompanies. Last Chance Harvey Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Last Chance Harvey travels to Blu-ray with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The film's light, pleasing score plays nicely but not at an overly aggressive volume, almost as if it is hovering in the background just to support the story but not to dominate it. A nice bit of ambiance may be heard across the front, though the back speakers don't feature all that much sound of any variety; atmospherics, music, and discrete sound effects rarely flow from the rear. Ambient noise at the wedding reception in chapter 10, particularly the slight reverberations of applause and the echoing effect of the microphone please the senses and recall the feel of a live event. Live music heard at the same reception also features a nice bit of bass and strong clarity. Certainly not a reference-grade track, this mix -- much like the video -- supports the tone of the film nicely enough but nothing else.
