PLOT SYNOPSIS


After discovering a woman’s body in a lonely beach house, a pair of Brighton detectives, Inspector Fred Fellows (JACK WARNER) and Sergeant Jim Wilks (RONALD LEWIS), painstakingly assemble a jigsaw puzzle of clues as they attempt to track down her murderer.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – ½/5


The only feature is the Trailer (1:20).

 


VIDEO – 4¼/5, AUDIO – 4/5 


Jigsaw comes to Blu-ray through Kino Lorber’s Cohen Film Collection presented with a 2.45 widescreen aspect ratio and a digitally remastered 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part this looks very good with sharp detail particularly for the close-ups and the black and whites are fairly well balanced through some of the latter is a bit blown out, but I assume that’s how it was filmed and not a flaw with the transfer itself. The picture also is clean enough but I did notice some dust marks and general film damage crop up every so often but nothing I’d consider overly distracting.

The movie comes equipped with a dual mono DTS-HD Master Audio track. For the most part this is a solid lossless track providing clean enough dialogue though I did detect some white noise or hissing a few times, however this is still a nice track especially for a movie of this age and through a singular channel.
