Machine Gun McCain(1969)
After serving 12 years behind bars for armed robbery, tough guy Hank McCain finds himself the pawn of a ruthless mob runt's rebellion against a high level don. When McCain discovers that he's been betrayed and abandoned by his new employer, he retaliates with a high stakes Las Vegas casino heist that erupts into all-out war on the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Not blood, nor lust, nor wedding vows can come between McCain and his money...or his machine gun.

Though several shots appear slightly softened and the transfer exhibits a few speckles and static spots alongside a couple of blink-and-miss-them bouts with background blocking, the image fares very well, and consistently so, throughout the picture. Detail is generally strong across the board, whether human faces, worn leather chairs, or the intricate stitching on suits and the texture of era-specific hats. Likewise, the image sports a fair amount of depth and it remains sharp and almost always focused and clean throughout. Colors are strong with every shade seemingly rendered with an accuracy befitting the era in which the film was made. Blacks are stable -- never too heavy and never too bright -- and flesh tones never waver too far from a natural shade. Blue Underground's transfer also retains a layer of film grain that places the finishing touches on one of the studio's best and certainly most consistent transfers to date. Machine Gun McCain Blu-ray, Audio QualityMachine Gun McCain shoots up Blu-ray but misses the target with a decent but underwhelming DTS-HD MA 1.0 mono soundtrack. Even considering the lack of action, this is one track that could benefit from a wider soundstage. As it is, Blue Underground has provided what is probably the best presentation available without some sort of phony remix, and the results are good enough, all things considered. This is a no-frills listen that's dialogue-heavy, and while the spoken word generally plays as clean and precise, the track doe stumble in its efforts to cleanly and naturally reproduce some of the louder and harsher screams and shouts heard during the film. Music, too, is generally smooth, though things get somewhat harsh over the opening title sequence and around the high end of the audible spectrum. Many effects sound crunchy and cramped; the movie begs for a wider and more spacious presentation during the casino interior scenes. As it is, the various casino effects sound crunchy and flat, hardly the inviting and invigorating elements such scenes usually demand and command. The picture's few spurts of machine gun fire lack punch and vitality, too. All said, listeners won't be turning to Machine Gun McCain for audio demonstration purposes, but most should be satisfied with Blue Underground's presentation that stays faithful to the track's original elements.
