| Comments |
Network out of the UK are pretty consistent producing another competent and watchable, reasonably-priced, single-layered SD PAL transfer to DVD. The film is another crime-drama - short at less than an hour but still plenty to enjoy at a good pace. It's a simple, straight forward, 'B' effort to start a relaxing double bill on a Friday night or Sunday afternoon. Gotta love Lisa Gastoni (remembering one of my favorites Wild, Wild Planet.) The 1.66:1 anamorphic transfer quality is very strong - and typical for these Network releases. It is clean, solid contrast - possibly a bit brightened but detail is sharp and there is no noise or distracting artefacts. It's a shade frail in-motion but very watchable. Audio is as reasonable, with a punchy score, as the video and there are no subtitles offered on the region 2 disc. There are no extras at all. The film has some merit, if only for nostalgic purposes. Perhaps prefacing Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes or The 39 Steps on Brit-thriller film night. Worth a few spins for fans of the genre. - Gary Tooze |
