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

Everyone said Cassie (CAREY MULLIGAN) was a promising young woman\u2026 until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie\u2019s life is what it appears to be: she\u2019s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she\u2019s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Promising Young Woman<\/em><\/strong> arrives on 4K Ultra HD for the first time (for whatever reason, it did not come out along with the Blu-ray) and while it does look pretty good, I can\u2019t quite say it was amazing. Still, detail on the close-ups were sharp and nicely defined, and despite the dark nature of the story, there are some pops of color while skin tones appear well balanced.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s where things get weird, although the back cover states it was a Dolby Atmos track, instead it\u2019s the original DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, but even stranger, this track was only available when pushing the \u201caudio\u201d button on the player remote (it\u2019s not listed in the audio sub-menu, where it\u2019s listed as Dolby Atmos). With that out of the way, dialogue comes across with good clarity and there is some decent enough depth especially for a strictly drama feature.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
