THE MOVIE \u2014 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>At 18 years old, Jason (RAFI GAVRON) receives a mandatory 10-year prison sentence after being caught with a package that contained illegal drugs, although he was unaware of its contents. His father, businessman John Matthews (DWAYNE JOHNSON), is devastated. When Jason turns down a chance to lessen his sentence by manufacturing evidence to implicate someone else, John begs to be sent under cover instead, but the already dangerous venture turns deadly after he exposes a major player in the Mexican drug trade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>I had actually never seen Snitch<\/em><\/strong> before and strangely, given how cheap the Blu-ray tends to be, I didn\u2019t even own it. So, this being my first viewing, and in the back of my mind knowing it wasn\u2019t well received, I went in with really no expectations. And in the end, I found this to be a highly enjoyable, entertaining suspense-thriller, with plenty of heart and a kick-ass performance from Dwayne Johnson. It\u2019s also a film that seems to harken back to the 1970s, a film that I could see someone like Charles Bronson tackling.<\/p>\n

Now, is it a great film? Not quite, there are some issues with just the believability of the situation \u2014 supposedly it\u2019s based on a true story but Hollywood being Hollywood, who the hell knows how much in this was fact \u2014 and some of the plot squarely gets into suspension of disbelief territory. But, all that said, Snitch<\/em><\/strong> accomplishes what it set out to do and make a nice way to kill two hours.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Snitch<\/em><\/strong> makes its debut on UHD presented with a 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and an ultra-high def 2160p resolution (HEVC \/ H.265 codec). The picture quality here is, in a word, fantastic. Detail is crisp and sharp throughout, black levels are quite stark without appearing crushed and there is a fair amount of vibrant colors while skin tones seem natural looking. No surprise, it\u2019s rather clean free of any obvious flaws.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 5.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This release gets a solid upgrade over the already nice DTS-HD MA 7.1 track from the Blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos track. There\u2019s a lot here to judge from the quieter, more dialogue-driven scenes (a couple between John and Jason in prison) to some action-packed moments like the junkyard shootout and semi-track\/car chase sequence at the end. Each of those pack a great punch enveloping the entire room from all channels. Simply amazing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Snitch<\/em><\/strong> is an entertaining suspense-thriller vehicle for Dwayne Johnson and while there were stretches that were unbelievable yet I still bought in to enough to make it a worthwhile watch. This 4K UHD release offers up excellent video and audio transfers that were a mark able improvement over its Blu-ray predecessor.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
