Redline's

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.
