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

The infamous and charismatic Cheung (ANDY LAU), his former partner in crime, Xiao (TONY YANG), and beautiful chameleon Ye (SHU QI) – join forces to pull off the heist of a lifetime. But when they find themselves pursued across Europe by a legendary French detective (JEAN RENO), they’ll have to take their game to the next level.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 1.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Presumably this came with a slip cover (my review copy did not). In any case, features included a Making of<\/u><\/strong> featurette and the Trailer<\/u><\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Adventurers<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray through Well Go USA presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a nice looking 1080p high-definition transfer which has good detail and colors generally are bright in keeping with the more fun-nature of the film. The Mandarin DTS:X track is quite strong from deep dialogue levels to the enveloping surrounds on display from the opening as voices (on newscasts) blast out of every speaker.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, The Adventurers<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t great but still a fun enough crime-heist movie mainly working thanks to its stars, Andy Lau and Jean Reno, playing a great foil for Lau and his crew. The action is decent but nothing you really haven\u2019t already seen before. The Blu-ray offers up good video\/audio transfers and little in terms of features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
