Warner Archive Collection releases The Drowning Pool<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray where it\u2019s presented with a 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and given a new 1080p high-definition transfer. Like its predecessor, Harper<\/em>, this looks great. Detail throughout is fairly sharp and there was some good colors bursts while the black levels were deep but still showing what\u2019s in the shot.<\/p>\n

The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track which outputs clear dialogue and some modest depth for the suspense-thriller sequences and there it sounded clean, free of pops and hisses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Overall, The Drowning Pool<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t as strong of a movie compared to Harper<\/em> but works mainly for Paul Newman once again and there was at least one fun set piece for the titled pool as the villain attempts to kill Harper. The Blu-ray release from the Warner Archive Collection offers good video\/audio transfers and a throwaway vintage featurette.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
