The Other Man(2009)
A man becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth surrounding the disappearance of his wife. After stumbling across clues that take him to the streets of Milan, he tracks down his wife’s charismatic lover and is determined to exact his revenge. He discovers a labyrinth of secrets and a side to his wife that he never knew existed. For more about The Other Man and The Other Man Blu-ray release, see The Other Man Blu-ray Review Starring: Antonio Banderas, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson The Other Man Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Other Man strolls onto Blu-ray with a solid 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that's far more impressive than its uninspired narrative, but not quite enough to elevate the overall glum experience of watching the film. There are a couple of soft shots throughout the film, but more often than not the image is tight and crisp, with fine textures apparent in close-ups, and an abundance of background detail. You'll be able to make out, for example, all the lines and pores on Liam Neeson's face, the beads of water on Antonio Banderas' rain coat, and the fine weft of Romala Garai's knit cap. The film's color scheme is understandably restrained—relying on a depressive color cast—so you won't see too many vivid, eye-popping hues here. Still, what colors there are seem substantially deep, with no wash-out or instability, though skin tones have a tendency to skew toward yellow at times. Black levels are more than adequate, and contrast is just right. The only anomaly I noticed was some slight banding and blotchiness in some harsh blue highlights when Liam and Laura are in bed together. Grain is fine and unobtrusive, the print is clean, and there are no other issues to report. The Other Man Blu-ray, Audio QualityLikewise, The Other Man's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is surprisingly adept, though, once again, it doesn't really do anything to improve the film itself. Stephen Warbeck's score carries the tone with appropriate moodiness, giving us thoughtfully plinked piano keys and a variety of orchestral elements, all sounding detailed and full, with ample bass and a nice spread across the channels. Unexpectedly, the rear speakers get a fair amount of activity throughout the film. This isn't Transformers 2 or anything, but there's nearly always some kind of environmental, place-establishing ambience being broadcast, from city street sounds and lapping waves to pouring rain and rolling thunder. The sound design is quite subtle, but it is effective. There are a few scenes toward the beginning of the film when dialogue seems somewhat low in the mix, but this quickly remedies itself and I really didn't have to touch my remote at all while the film went on, and on, and on. Seriously, this a long 87 minutes.
