Blood Ties(2013)Two brothers, on either side of the law, face off over organized crime in Brooklyn during the 1970s. For more about Blood Ties and the Blood Ties Blu-ray release, see Blood Ties Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on June 21, 2014 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5. Director: Guillaume Canet Writers: Guillaume Canet, James Gray, Jacques Maillot, Pierre Chosson, Eric Veniard, Michel Papet Starring: Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldaña, Matthias Schoenaerts Producer: Alain Attal » See full cast & crew Blood Ties is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Lionsgate Films with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.39:1. Shot digitally with the usually quite excellent Arri Alexa, this is a sometimes drab and relatively soft looking high definition presentation, one that's also somewhat lacking in clearly delineated contrast. The result is certainly decently defined, but just not quite at the level of crispness and clarity that some might prefer. One of the interesting things about this presentation is its unusual color grading. Instead of the typical blue that seems to be de rigeur for thrillers nowadays, Blood Ties opts for a kind of sickly yellow ambience at times that adds a jaundiced pallor to fleshtones and a kind of slightly syrupy look to some of the Manhattan locations. While contrast issues keep some of the interior sequences from ever totally popping, overall detail is well above average, and in brightly lit moments fine detail is excellent. There are no problems with image stability or compression artifacts. Blood Ties' lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 has the appropriate punch and bombast in the film's set pieces, including the frightening opening gun melée, and later such elements as an arson fire and car chase. Canet perhaps unwisely stuffs the film full of source cues to the point that they become distracting after a while, though they do fill the surrounds quite nicely and with excellent fidelity. Dialogue is cleanly presented and dynamic range is very wide throughout the film. No issues of any kind crop up in this problem free track. Blood Ties: Other Editions
