Review: Vigilante Diaries BD + Screen Caps

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Michael Hanover (JASON MEWES) is an in-your-face filmmaker known for his web videos of an urban avenger known only as “The Vigilante” (PAUL SLOAN). But when The Vigilante terminates a creep with deep connections, it’ll trigger a live-feed bloodbath between the American mob, Mexican cartels, a rogue team of Special Forces commandos, and an international black ops conspiracy that’s about to make things very personal.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.0/5

Not much here except a basic Behind the Scenes (7:27; HD) featurette.

 

VIDEO – 3.75/5

Not entirely sure but from the looks of it, this was shot digitally and certainly has that clean vibe to it. Presented with a 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer, the picture at least provides good details throughout and colors appear to be bright and vibrant in keeping with the more light-hearted comedic moments amongst the bloodshed and gore.

AUDIO – 4.25/5

The disc comes with a front-heavy yet robust DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which showcases the numerous action sequences with fantastic depth while dialogue levels were clear enough though could get a bit loud at times. It’s not quite reference quality with the uneven sound design but it’s still impressive especially for a straight-to-video release.

 

OVERALL – 2.75/5

Overall, Vigilante Diaries is based on a 2013 series that also starred Jason Mewes and Paul Sloan amongst others and while it’s nothing special, there’s just enough there to have it standout amongst the rest, though the screenplay could’ve used a rewrite or two. The Blu-ray released through Anchor Bay offers great video/audio transfers but falls short in the features department.
