BLU-RAY REVIEW: CONTRACT TO KILL
02/26/2017

OVERVIEW: Legendary action star Steven Seagal returns to deliver justice in Contract to Kill, an explosive, heart-pounding action-thriller that will be available on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD), DVD and Digital HD on February 28 from Lionsgate. The film is currently available On Demand. Seagal stars as John Harmon, a CIA/DEA enforcer who embarks on an international mission to prevent an attack on America. Contract to Kill is directed by Keoni Waxman (End of a Gun, Killing Salazar), and features standout performances from Russell Wong and Jemma Dallender.

SYNOPSIS: Steven Seagal stars as a government enforcer investigating a terrorist plot that leads him and his team to Istanbul. There, they uncover an extremist plan to use drug-smuggling routes to bring deadly weapons — and leaders — into the U.S. To prevent an attack on America, Harmon must turn these two savage forces against one another before his time — and luck — runs out.

BLU-RAY: The film is presented in widescreen in a 2.40:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby Digital in English that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes  English subtitles.
