WORK - Silent Vengeance
Witness of the death of his son, a victim of a bullet lost in a gang confrontation on Christmas Eve, a father recovering from an injury that cost him the word trains tirelessly in order to be able to revenge.
Return of John Woo on American lands with this watchful post-John Wick hyper violent whose impacting visual narrative makes sense with its mutic concept. The style exercise works both on the side of dramaturgy (the melo so dear to its author embraces the first part) and on the action (the last half hour let the powder speak), especially since the favorite figures and obsessions of the veteran of the gunfight are not put into deafness. And worn by a Joel Kinnaman which expresses much without opening the mouth, this pure series B moves without saying a word to touch us in the heart. Yes, actions are often better than words.
IMAGE - Bullet in the Night
Apart from the very problems of encoding along the way (random gradients in a background handle) despite an average bitrate of 86 Mb/s, this UHD Dolby Vision transfer from a 4K DI of a clearly digital capture (subliminal grain was added in post-prod) improves the images delivered by the yet accomplished Blu-ray.
The details are of greater clarity (faces, wounds, clothes and crassy decors), the colorimetric palette that is deliberately dull (since the atmosphere is as dark as it is sad with a majority of slate hues), if it is during happy memories and for the splashing of blood, takes advantage of additional shades (nocturnal blues and oranges in Playa's antiquity), the reinforced contrast rate gives matter to the shadows (more precise than in SDR) thanks to deep blacks without sign of crushing and light sources, punctually ultra-pussed while the shadows are prognosis (vehicle headlights, urban lighting), otherwise display with more shine.
SOUND - Sweeping Massacre
Everything but silent despite an amazing lack of impact (quite flat dynamic and shallow bass), this Dolby Atmos immersive soundtrack is based on omnipresent romantico-funist music by Marco Beltrami to raise the drama.
The score that serves as dialogues (reduced to radio flashes and police frequencies) is spreading generously throughout the sound scene, the atmospheres (the vacarm in the police station) as well as the pyrotechnic effects (in the numerous shootings and/or prosecutions) impress so much they move on all sides (the scene around shouts its existence at the slightest opportunity) and even if discreet, the verticality of the mixing is heard here (for birds and shots).
CONCLUSION - A new gift under the tree?
While she keeps silent, this belligerent Christmas counter-programming (which will be able to shoot alongside the great classic of the 80s) Die Hard) lets her rage explode on 4K Ultra HD support (A/V services far from being aphones) !
