How'd you like that one, tough guy? How fricking awesome was that, huh
Fig 1. Maybe a Little Dull for Some, but I Kind of Like the Matte Finish
Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) Plays a Hitman who has taken a little bit of a wrong turn in his life and screwed one of his Hit givers over and decided not to do 'One Last job'. Now infected with a Deadly cocktail, he must find a cure and save himself as well as hunt down the ruthless gangsters who gave him it and kill them all, at any cost to himself and the rest of New York. A thrill ride from the very first minute you slip the disc in to the time you eject it.. It's a Popcorn, Fast Paced lunatic Movie that keeps your Adrenaline Pumping from Beginning to end.. This is a Mans film and I Love it.
Fig 2. I'm Afraid it's ALL in German, so I can't make head nor tale of what the movies about. But take my word for it.. You Won't Be Disappointed.
VIDEO*****
Presented at 1.85:1 in brilliant 1080p
Ah Full screen action at it's best and i'm not just talking about the Movie, Right from the very start Detail looks amazing, the stubble on Statham's face is exceptional as are the washed out colours. But don't be put off by this as its highly intentional. We have come to expect so, so much from Blu Ray and this is right up there, and I think compared to the DVD you can tell the difference in a Side by Side comparison. Blacks are deep and that's just the way I like them and you lose no shadow detail either, so that's a great thumbs up. You would have thought it was filmed yesterday.
I can't go any less than 5 out of 5 on this Transfer here.. Pick It up and you will see for yourselves.
AUDIO*****
DTS MASTER HD 5.1 English and DTS MASTER HD 5.1 German
When it comes to Lionsgates audio release this is right up there with the very, very best of them. Why because it matches the PQ all the way, with fast paced action SHOULD come a fast paced soundtrack and it certainly does. Bass is Booming, Music Blasts out of Every speaker and corner of the room when it kicks in and that is in all forms of Genre from Rock to Thrash and Heavy Metal they all get a work out here. Dialogue is not a problem here either, it's right up there and never gets drowned out. For my pleasure the surround speakers are used nearly ALL the way through this movie and that's thanks to the soundtrack. So once again a rare 5 from 5 from me, but I'm a little biased as it is one of my fav action flicks.

Not that bad but could have done a little better, maybe on set a little more or even making the 7 minute documentary a hour?. 3 from 5 comes to mind. But hey that's only my opinion.
