The Angels are breaking loose!
Each has a secret power... Together they face absolute evil!
With Heroic Trio and its aftermath Executioners (co-directed by the choreographer Ching Siu-tung), the master of the Asian polar Johnnie To tried at Comic Book Movie post-Batman that he masted with wu xia flirting for a completely crazy delirium bis. On the background of fantastic (for the first) and post-nuke urban guerrilla (for the second), this detonating mix of genres with crazy inventiveness, deliciously crazy staging and unbridled action (highly unlikely) forms a decomplexed dystic (scabrous violence out of a Cat III included) carried by a trio of shock and charm (Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung and Oscarized Michelle Yeoh) to the devastating charism. Cult!
IMAGE - Dive into Gotham City Wish!
Based on recent 4K restorations performed by L-Immagine Ritrovata Asia and calibrated by One Cool Production (with adjustments made by LSP Medien), these Dolby Vision UHD transfers (with excellent encoding) are superb even if a little heterogeneous at times.
Perfectly cleaned (good-bye to the tasks, scratches and other vertical stripes) and stabilized, these images with a silver texture that is certainly variable (between fineness, thickness and slight degreasing) show above all ultra-enhanced details (faces, urban decors, textures, cables) whose natural is betrayed only on rare occasions (a handful of planes) by a strengthening of contours that can be guessed.
The two-sided colorimetric palette (of bright and varied hues) is firmly saturated with blue, red and yellow orange colours (the passages in the eunuch) of a beautiful intensity, the energetic contrasts (dense blacks and bright whites) are beautifully modern in their rendering and the light sources, well barred and opulent (very BDesques in the mind), are more sparkling than ever though less expressive in the 2nd opus.
When Cat whistles, the can fly!
If absence of FV (for Heroic Trio) that one could find on the DVD HK Video released in 2010 is a bit too bad, the two cantonese tracks encoded in DTS-HD MA 5.1 (and also 2.0 surround) are not lacking in charm despite a sometimes artificial rendering at the back (even more on Executioners).
The music sounds good (with a few distortions), the effects have an impact, the dynamics want to get started and the dialogues are clear. Of course, the rear activity (where some noises come out too aggressively) remains moderate and the LFE channel is not very physical.
CONCLUSION - Three heroines for the price of one!
From « Girls with Guns » fantasy-futurist led beating drum which, with this unexpected edition 4K Ultra HD with flattering attributes (miraculous A/V performances), has today the opportunity to come out of the shadows!
