While at times a bit of a mixed bag, the good certainly outweighs the bad and this release earns a well deserved high seven. The subtitles are well defined and always easy to read but at times the translation suffers from grammatical errors. However, this is not a major compliant as I had no difficulty in following on screen proceedings at any time.
'Tazza: The High Rollers' comes with a 5.1 dts HD Master Audio surround track. The audio presentation can seem a little front heavy at times, although the front listening plane is very involving for the majority. The focus of the track is the all important vocals, which are always crystal clear and never difficult to follow. Surround involvement is pretty constant for the duration although this aspect of the presentation did sound a little low in the mix at times. Ambience is provided by way of gamblers shouting and scrambling for exit routes (over the wail of sirens) during police raids, with pleasing involvement from the surround channels. The sub comes to life during couple of the impact sequences, such as when various underworld denizens are clobbered with various blunt objects (such as bowling pins). The car crash sequence brings forth some nice deep bass intonations (as does the rumble of the Beemer) but overall the sub is somewhat subdued. The score is dominated by jazzy overtones, perfectly complementing the content. Saxophones, percussion instruments and woodwinds ring through with clarity, with some nice stereo reproduction.
There are also other ambient tracks provided to alleviate some of the quieter portions of the track. Surround bleed and bass interjection are adequate. Overall this is a well engineered and competently mixed audio presentation but it's most definitely not one to show off the power of your surround system. This BD release is bursting at the seams with additional supplements and there are not one but two commentary tracks included (one with the director and the other with the cast), which is a huge bonus. Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles included whatsoever, rendering this entire portion of the disc completely useless to non-Korean speakers, which is a massive shame.ĭeleted Scenes (SD 23mins) - Included here are thirteen deleted scenes with optional director's commentary. Most appear to be no great loss but the inclusion of English subtitles could have made them more relevant and worthwhile.
There are also a lot of alternate shots, as well as those scenes which simply did not make it into the finished product.Ĭomic Book Comparisons (SD 8mins) - This feature includes interviews with the cast and director as they speak about their characters and how they compare to their comic book counterparts. Drawings from the comic books on which this movie is based are also included.
