Jeff Pollack directs Tupac Shakur and Leon in the urban basketball drama Above the Rim, which comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers. Additional extras are available for those with a DVD-ROM drive. This is a fine release from New Line Home Entertainment.
If you love old 90s movies with action/drama, this is it. It's your typical urban tale of a teenager trying to make it out of the hood by any positive means. As always, someone or something will try to get in the way of stopping him of fulfilling his dreams.
I decided to make this purchase because my mother loves classic movies and another site wouldn't let me purchase it unless I made another bigger purchase which I thought was silly. Visited bestbuy.com to see if I would have the same problem and it was not the case!
