WORK – The Fast and Furious of 90
With stolen sports cars, Wellman Santee witnessed the murder of a policeman and his accomplice by a dirty lieutenant, Frank Severance. Injured and arrested, Santee escapes by taking hostage Rita Marek, also from the police. Severance must absolutely eliminate it. Through the desert, the manhunt begins...
Worn by one of the icons of the action cinema of the 1990s, this burgundy activator that plays it neo-western is a pure testosterone entertainment that multiplies the gunfights (to the John Woo sometimes), chase races and other muscular grips at a frantic pace. For fans like that, it's solid!
IMAGE – In the desert, we're always free...
An HD restoration as neat as it is hoped that delivers bright images in which the original grain has fortunately not flown like the wind sand... Even if the underlighted planes allow a bit of video noise.
The pique made shows great precision, the natural colors with fiery primaries are faithful to the beautiful photograph of the work and the contrasts do not lack of matter.
SON – Horses under the hood!
Physical and enveloping, the VO DTS-HD MA 5.1 is not afraid to diffuse its multichannel effects, both in front and behind, during action scenes where dynamic explodes.
More frontal and acute, the VF remains no less clear with a good voice restitution. For information, she goes back to the VO during the last ten minutes (reserved at the Directors cut), unpublished in our language.
CONCLUSION – A hero's fabric?
Before Speed and Fast and Furious, Above the law managed to impose itself as a very generous action film addicting to the voluptuousness of speed... And to keep pace, the Blu-ray seems to be the champion in its category!
