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

\n

During the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, security guard Richard Jewell (PAUL WALTER HAUSER) discovers a suspicious backpack under a bench in Centennial Park. With little time to spare, he helps to evacuate the area until the incendiary device inside the bag explodes. Hailed as a hero who saved lives, Jewell’s own life starts to unravel when the FBI names him the prime suspect in the bombing.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie is presented in its original theatrical 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. Picture here looks on par with most new releases, detail is sharp throughout and colors have a good range and are vibrant with black levels appearing stark. Nothing particularly fantastic yet satisfying enough.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

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

The movie comes with a standard DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which is serviceable for a movie, outside of an explosion, that had lackluster depth unfortunately, most has dialogue coming through the center channel with the front and rear channels is mostly utilized for the score by Arturo Sandoval, who previously worked with Eastwood on The Mule<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
