| Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I was under the impression that Widesight went out of business but here they are again, handing the dvd release of Wilson Yip's latest. It's not all bad though even though Widesight will always remain Widesight.
The non-anamorphic transfer, framed at 2.35:1 for roughly half the film but changes to 2:24.1 later on for some reason, looks very sharp for the most part, revealing satisfying detail and colour. The print is also completely damage free.
The movie was shot in sync sound Mandarin and that is presented on a Dolby Digital-EX 6.1 track. Music sounds wonderful in the front channels and certain select effects are well integrated into the mix. Same option exists for the Cantonese dub and a Cantonese DTS-ES 6.1 is also available.
The English/Chinese subtitles are burned onto the print with the English translation residing in the letterbox frame (meaning this is not straight from a theatrical print). They are flawless throughout and readable so no problems there other than the fact that they're not optional. No extras are included but the limited edition comes with postcards, photo book and a making of featurette. |
