Russell Mulcahy's action film Riccochet comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround, and a Spanish soundtrack is available in Dolby Digital Mono. There are no subtitles, but the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials are limited to cast biographies. For a disc with only a pan-and-scan image and without any compelling extras, this HBO/Rysher disc is priced a little high.
This movie depicts the rise to power of a drug lord, the problems associated with that rise, and the subsequent issues of trying to maintain control... Of both power and yourself! Great action
Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which brought him Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director, comes to DVD with a fantastic 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been mixed in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles can be accessed. Sadly, the only supplemental materials are production notes. Considering this is a modern classic, one might hope that Warner Bros. and/or Eastwood might have offered more insight into its making. Still, the picture and sound are as good as one could hope for, making this a fine DVD for any collection.
