Righteous Kill Blu-rayStarz / Anchor Bay | 2008 | 103 mins | Rated R | Jan 06, 2009
Righteous Kill(2008)Crime | Drama | Mystery ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A pair of veteran New York City police detectives are on the trail of a vigilante serial killer. After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can't do on their own--take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars? For more details about Righteous Kill on Blu-ray, see the Righteous Kill Blu-ray Review Righteous Kill Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Righteous Kill arrives on Blu-ray with a righteous 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. Though not quite up to the standards of The International, this one nevertheless encompasses the sort of high quality imagery Blu-ray fans have to expect and demand of big studio releases. Starz once again proves to be one of the best in the industry here; the transfer features few flaws and boasts superb detail, color reproduction, depth, and clarity. Worn rails on a stairway leading down from a train platform, brick façades, clothing, and practically every other object in the film reveals wonderful texture and detail that brings each frame to vivid life. A wonderfully deep transfer, clarity reaches far and wide in every frame; distance shots remain sharp and true, and the transfer provides solid levels of detail and color in far background images, particularly in cityscape shots. Flesh tones can range from slightly ghastly to overly red, but black levels remain fairly stable throughout. Eagle-eyed viewers may note minor aliasing in one or two shots, but generally, Righteous Kill borders on reference quality imagery that's sure to please. Righteous Kill Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Righteous Kill features a solid but not particularly engaging Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. Despite several moments of intense action, much of Righteous Kill revolves around the spoken word, and dialogue reproduction represents one of this track's strong suits. The disc has several additional opportunities to shine; for instance an early scene inside Spider's "Club 404" features a pleasing atmosphere with music and general patron chatter filling the soundstage nicely. The music seems slightly diminished in volume, but there's an adequate level of bass to be heard -- and felt -- in support. Other, quieter scenes feature atmosphere of a lesser intensity but of equal or greater realism. A bar scene, for instance, delivers a more subtle but nevertheless realistic background ambience, and several gunshots during the film's climax ring out with some authority and ricochet throughout the soundstage. The louder action scenes don't compete with the upper-echelon presentations found on reference-grade discs, but Righteous Kill nevertheless delivers a good all-around listen that's neither stellar nor in any way poor.
