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

Roy Parmenter (SIDNEY POITIER) is an FBI agent with a long-standing vendetta against a Russian spy named Scuba (RICHARD LYNCH). Now, Scuba is blackmailing the Soviet government by tracking down and assassinating their sleeper agents in the United States. Parmenter discovers that high-school student Jeff Grant (RIVER PHOENIX) is the son of two such agents (RICHARD JENKINS, CAROLINE KAVA), which is a total shock to Jeff. Parmenter must try to track Scuba while also protecting the Grants.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Little Nikita<\/em><\/strong> makes its debut onto Blu-ray through Mill Creek Entertainment and for the most part, this 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec) looks pretty good with sharp detail and bright colors throughout. The only drawback is, I did tend to notice numerous instances of dust marks and scratches so clearly, but not surprisingly, this didn\u2019t get any treatment, not that this kind of movie necessitated a large amount of money to restore.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Also predictably, this only comes with the standard Dolby Digital 2.0 track which is perfectly serviceable for a movie like this providing for okay dialogue levels while lending some depth for the action sequences, but nothing amazing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

Overall, Little Nikita<\/em><\/strong> is an odd little, and mostly forgotten, film from the late 1980s that has a weak screenplay made up by two solid actors in Sidney Poitier and River Phoenix whose chemistry did work so well. This Blu-ray released by Mill Creek Entertainment is your usual bargain, no-frills, title containing no bonus material, so-so audio but an above average video transfer.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
