WORK - The profitor of war
Born in Ukraine before the collapse of the Soviet bloc, Yuri Orlov arrives in the United States with his family. He worked in the family restaurant before having the revelation of his life in the early 1980s, attending a bloody settlement of accounts. He then discovered a much more profitable activity: arms trafficking...
As world disorder reigns, this real geopolitical lesson, which denounces the scourges of an underground trade (that of war), is a « human comedy » deeply cynical and highly documented where redemption does not take place. Engaged and disturbing, it is thanks to his anti-hero master, a bandit without scruples or moral sense encamped by a Nicolas Cage at the top of her shape, that she manages to draw her message in the middle of her head!
IMAGE - The weapons bazaar is open
Voluntaryly very granular even though this character texture is not always homogeneous (from the tingling here, a little bit of DNR there), this UHD Dolby Vision transfer is at any point superior to its HD counterpart.
The definition is greatly improved, the details are significantly finer, the colorimetric palette is much better saturated (including blue and red tones), the contrasts are much firmer (cf. the brightness of whites and the delimitation of richer blacks) and the lights are frankly more intense (light of day).
If you want peace, prepare for war!
Not likely to overexplore its air scene (some musical notes, reverberation of shots, planes and a helicopter), this mixing Atmos is nonetheless very conclusive.
Subtly using discreet yet ultra-well-placed atmospheres and enjoying a dazzling dynamic when the action demands it, he manages to stand out from the all-coming when Nicolas Cage's voice off isolates the other sound elements with great delicacy.
CONCLUSION - A deadly trade
Size and decadence of a sinister arms dealer for black and satirical comedy Andrew Niccol lucid that, thanks to the 4K Ultra HD support, can place us all the more in the first lodges of the realities of a rotten world that we usually refuse to face. Watch out, punch movie!
Big movie! ^^^
