PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Straight from the comics to the mean streets of Los Angeles… armed with a powerful ancient Cross amulet, Callan (BRIAN ASTIN GREEN) and his team of weapons experts battle local thugs and heinous criminals. When a ruthless villain named Muerte (DANNY TREJO) threatens to kill Callan\u2019s crew, he and his team join forces with an all-girl crime-fighting squad led by Riley (AMY JANE) \u2013 who has an ancient amulet of her own. But Muerte is not working alone. He has resurrected the evil immortal Gunnar (VINNIE JONES) who has a plan more sinister than anyone can imagine. Can Callan prevent the looming apocalypse and save humanity? It\u2019s enough to make a superhero all stressed out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases Cross Wars<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition and this looks like a poor production with so-so detail though colors are generally bright.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with an average DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which lacks great depth during the numerous action sequences while dialogue levels are generally clear enough. It\u2019s a very substandard lossless track but matches up with the lackluster video…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Cross Wars<\/em><\/strong> is just an all around bad movie. The acting is poor however they\u2019re not helped with a shoddy script in conjunction with some laughable visual effects. All of that wouldn\u2019t be so bad if this had the fun factor, it was anything but. The Blu-ray released through Sony offers so-so video\/audio and lackluster features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
