    A fast-talking lawyer (Banderas) transforms his body and takes a vow of silence while working tirelessly to hunt down the murderers responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter. And he has his revenge. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include the featurette "Speaking Out" (HD 12:30), upfront previews and an UltraViolet digital copy.

    The 1.84:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. Sharpness and clarity are excellent, as well as contrast, with deep blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Night scenes and rain-drenched scenes are mesmerizing. A WOW! segment appears between 00:13:11 and 00:13:26. Color fidelity is excellent with rich and warm vibrant hues, always appearing perfectly natural. Fleshtones are naturally rendered throughout. Fine detail is exemplary, especially in close-ups of facial features, skin features and lines, hair, clothing and objects. Lighting effects effectively highlight resolution with natural intensities. This is a terrific-looking picture with engaging visuals and production design. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is nicely dynamic with superb atmospherics and sonic nuances. Sound effects enhance the action sequences. Rain is extremely natural sounding, which is heard in a few segments. Deep bass, in all channels, is nicely energized, effectively enhancing the suspense with .1 LFE accentuating the intensity. The orchestral score extends across the soundstage and aggressively envelops the surround. Fidelity throughout is good. Dialogue is for the most part intelligible but at times a bit muffled. Overall, this is a great thriller soundtrack with compelling dynamics and realism. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
