VIDEO \u2013 4\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dual<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray from RLJE Films and is presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. This is a pretty darkly lit movie, I guess in keeping with the dark tone of the story, however detail on close-ups were adequate and at the very least black levels were decent and you can discern what\u2019s occurring on the screen.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4\u00bc\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie comes with a good DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Dialogue comes across with fine clarity and there is some okay depth for the actual duel scenes but there\u2019s not a whole lot in this movie that makes great use of the rear channels outside of some ambient noises or the score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
