Video

Avoiding pitfalls noticed in the previous two film's transfers, In the Line of Duty III doesn't suffer any unneeded filtering or processing, remaining naturally clear. Grain spikes, but holds together well enough to retain the filmic qualities. Detail thus thrives, defined, crisp, and pure. Texture shows everywhere.

Generous color replication gives flesh tones vivid pop and depth. Primaries saturate, giving the images wow factor. The aesthetic veers cool, but not digitally so. In the Line of Fire III retains an organic purity.

Black levels, while still not at their deepest depths, still suffice in delivering needed dimensionality. Depth proves striking at its best. Contrast richly invites brightness into the frame, rich, bold, and vibrant.

Audio

Choose either the original Cantonese language subtitled or an English dub in mono, both DTS-HD. Breaking down at the score's highest peaks, the treble suffers from an obnoxiously high pitch. That's only at the highest levels though, the rest flat but stable. Sound effects resolve cleanly and any mass of gunfire holds together. It's not great, but serviceable.
