Redline's 1080p transfer nicely handles the colorful material
presented to it. Anchor Bay's 1.85:1-framed image yields all of the
film's
uncountable shades with brilliant accuracy, from the brightest red
hearts and flashiest green hairs, all the way down to the more bland
earthen tones
that contrast the veritable rainbow of colors seen on hair, clothes, and
vehicles. The eye-popping array of colors are nicely offset by
balanced black
levels that nicely define the film's darker corners. Meanwhile, fine
detail proves quite good. The 1080p imagery captures many of the more
subtle
nuances around the frame, like the texture of the walls in JP's hospital
room as seen early in the movie. The transfer cleanly and crisply
delivers the
fast-moving action and the more static scenes with equal precision.
Lines remain smooth and clean, but background banding -- both subtle and
egregious -- does interfere with many shots. The banding
notwithstanding, this is a quality, good-looking transfer that suits the
material well.
