In "The Retaliators, an understanding pastor uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter's brutal murder. (Gary Reber)

Special features include cast interviews, a music video and the theatrical trailer.

The 2.39:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture often takes pace in dark night and interior settings and in such settings colors are subdued or desaturated. The ending scenes were in a forested area which exhibits realistic earthy hues. The imagery generally delivers natural realism. Flesh tones are naturally hued. Contrast is generally good with deep blacks, revealing shadows and natural white levels. Resolution is revealing of detail throughout. This is a bloody nightmare of a movie, especially in the ending scenes. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic sounding with realistic Foley sound effects and excellent dialogue spatial integraion, Sound effects sound are numerous and realistic. The synthesizer scoted music supports the emotional flow of the imagery. Surround energy is often aggressive and directionalized. This is a very effective violent holosonic� soundtrack. (Gary Reber)

Reason #34 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I was always told to seek the superlative, and where home entertainment is concerned, WSR makes sure that my reach always exceeds my grasp. Fortunately, in this case, it's a good thing. I can count on WSR to always go beyond what every other magazine in the industry can provide. It has inspired me to explore the concepts, both technical and subjective, to the extent that I even feel smarter about home entertainment technology. Hardware and software are both dealt with in an informative and engaging way, so the value of the magazine surpasses its modest price. WSR has been a great inspiration for my wishes and dreams. I wish I could afford the ultra wares I see covered in the magazine. Nevertheless, I am wiser because I have gained a sense of judgment through reading WSR. (I must admit to having a bit of common sense, though, since I have been using Monster Cable products for over 10 years!) I hope WSR will continue to ignite the interest in its audience as it has up to now.
