On their
Blu-ray,
Fractured Visions offer linear PCM 2.0 channel tracks (16-bit)
in both the original Italian and an English DUB. There is an
overabundance of aggressive effects, car crashes, gunfire etc. and they
remain hollow-ish and flat in the uncompressed transfer. The score is by
Luciano Michelini (The
Suspicious Death of A Minor,
Island
of the Fishmen)
The Fractured Visions
Blu-ray
Although there is not an abundance available
on Blu-ray,
I have grown to appreciate the Poliziotteschi genre - more each
time I see one. Like their cousin the 'Pasta western', these have a
identifiable style, often dealing in moral corruption and have plenty of
violence. There are usually political and mob themes. Fractured Visions'
Silent Action
Blu-ray
has Sergio Martino's effective filmmaking
and a girth of extras, and CD soundtrack, to introduce any cinema fan to this neglected genre.
Despite my reservations on the image, and its 1080i transfer, this will be worth picking up to
those who wish to expand their horizons of 70's Italian films and there
