88 Minutes
It figures that they didn't put much into the Blu Ray exhibition of 88 Minutes since they barely put anything into the theatrical release. You know I love a good crap Hollywood A-list B-movie, and 88 Minutes does not disappoint. (There's not a single character who doesn't look suspicious. Amazing…) But the drab film looks drab even in Blu Ray.
Blu-Ray Review: 88 Minutes
The whole film has a sort of blueish hue which takes most of the color out. That's fine if you're doing a gritty hardcore thing, which obviously 88 Minutes thinks it is. There's no real grit detail either. It's fine, but you won't return your PS3 or anything, but you'll know it's not Saw.
The biggest offense is Alicia Witt. I've seen Alicia Witt in person. I've been right up in her face. She has the most perfect, glowing porcelain skin ever. This movie removes all the shine and sheen. There's one frantic, sweaty close-up where it comes through, but to lose that in HD is a tragedy.
