The Stranger(2010)
A man with no name, no memory and absolutely nothing left to lose decides to fight back. Pursuit cannot stop him. Torture will not break him. And with every betrayal, he'll remember another piece of the horror that took away his career, his family and his identity. For more about The Stranger and The Stranger Blu-ray release, see The Stranger Blu-ray Review Starring: Steve Austin, Adam Beach, Erica Cerra, John Trench Director: Robert Lieberman The Stranger Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Stranger lumbers onto Blu-ray with a serviceable 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. The Stranger is the victim of a limited production budget, and the film's meager origins are readily evident in its paltry transfer. Though it's more often than not technically proficient, The Stranger just isn't a very handsome film; it's glossy video sheen is absent a pleasant film-like texture, and the image appears consistently flat with overpowering blacks and bland colors. Fine object detail looks fine on close-ups of textured surfaces and brighter outdoor scenes demonstrate a clear, sharp picture that never goes soft but never wows the eyes, either. Many interior scenes take on a decidedly green tint, though this seems a stylistic choice on the part of the filmmakers. Banding is evident in several shots, though other technical bugaboos don't present much cause for alarm. The Stranger's unremarkable transfer is more a reflection of its budget than Anchor Bay's Blu-ray transfer, but those looking for the latest and greatest in eye candy will be disappointed. The Stranger Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Stranger powers onto Blu-ray with a commendable PCM 5.1 uncompressed soundtrack. This one's fairly loud but not crazy; the picture opens with hard rock notes blasting through the listening area with excellent precision and clarity even through the raw volume of the sound. Guitar riffs slice through the speakers, and the music is supported by a back-channel presence, even though it's drowned out by the front three's power. Additionally, the surround speakers are utilized here and there to deliver a touch of ambience, be it flowing traffic in one scene or blaring emergency sirens in another, but the track never quite manages to create a completely seamless environment. Action scenes sound good, too; a shootout in chapter eight features a fair back-channel presence, and the shots themselves crackle and echo nicely. Dialogue reproduction is smooth and strong, making The Stranger a good all-around soundtrack and the unequivocal highlight of this disc.
