PLOT SYNOPSIS |
| Four life-long friends are about to have a day they will never forget. Not only are they embarking on an epic night and say goodbye to their friend Billy before he joins the Army, but their favorite band, The Smiths, has just broken up. As they go from one wild adventure to the next, they listen along as an impassioned Smiths fan takes a local radio DJ hostage, forcing him to play only songs from the dearly departed. |

Shoplifters of the World comes to Blu-ray via RLJ Entertainment, presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part the picture here looks on par with any mid-budget independent film, detail is fairly sharp and colors nicely balanced and in keeping with the 1980s time period the film is set in. The disc includes your basic but more than adequate DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. It’s nothing extraordinary, yet still offers clear dialogue throughout, and some decent enough depth with the score and soundtrack, with The Smiths’s being central to the storyline and characters. |
