What disappoints me is the extras, or the lack thereof. Unlike the recent DVD special edition "director's cut" release of 1985's "Commando", "Marked for Death" does not have an audio commentary (one from Little would have been much desired in this case, or maybe even a recounting from the film's two screenwriters) nor does it have any deleted scenes, nor does it contain any archived interviews with Seagal (I find it difficult to believe that Fox cannot get the rights from television companies to put some interviews with him on these DVD releases). "Predator 2", another 20th Century Fox film dealing with Jamaican voodoo posses and drug lords and violent crime in the streets, has been given an outstanding deluxe treatment on Blu-Ray, encompassing great picture frame, quality hi-def sound, amazing extras, and great menus. Why couldn't "Marked for Death" get the same treatment? In many ways, I think it's more enjoyable than "Predator 2" but I can't give this item a 5-star plug until 20th Century Fox decides to stop cheating the consumer out of these great extras. I know they are out there! B+ (for the movie...C+ for the DVD...it averages to four stars due to the quality picture and sound transfer on this disc)

Le blu-ray offre une superbe qualité d'image, digne du support HD. Les couleurs sont belles et l'image est très propre et nette. Rien à dire, c'est bien mieux que le DVD et vraiment pas mal pour un film de 24 ans! Au niveau du son, la VF est proposée en 5.1 DTS. Un son de très bonne qualité même si on aurait quand même préféré avoir le 5.1 DTS-HD MA de la VO.
En bref, si vous êtes fans de films d'action simples mais efficaces et que Steven Seagal est un acteur que vous appréciez, alors "Désigné pour mourir" devrait vous plaire. Certes le film n'offre rien d'original au genre mais il n'en reste pas moins un film d'action réussi et spectaculaire, à mille lieux des nanars sortis directement en vidéo que Seagal nous offre ces dernières années. Le film contient tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un agréable moment devant la télévision : Une histoire simple mais intéressante à suivre, un rythme soutenu, des scènes d'action nerveuses et bien menées, des effets spéciaux spectaculaires, un casting impeccable, de l'humour et de l'émotion. Un très bon divertissement qui comblera les amateurs du genre. Le blu-ray est de bonne qualité. Un achat sûr.
bestellt, weil hier auf der Internetseite angegeben war, dass auch eine deutsche Tonspur
vorhanden sein sollte.
Diesen Fehler hat Amazon, wie ich eben gesehen habe, korrigiert, aber leider, nachdem ich
die DVD bestellt hatte.
Was aber noch viel Schlimmer war, war der Zustand, in dem die DVD bei mir ankam (bestellt über
ZOEVERSTOCK.de)
Der Umschlag sah geöffnet aus, war aber komplett unbeschädigt. Beschädigt war viel mehr der
Inhalt. Die DVD Hülle und das Cover waren zerrissen.
Ich habe den Händler in England jetzt angeschrieben über das Kontaktformular, mal schauen was
passiert.
Da ich den Film noch nicht geschaut habe, habe ich erst mal 5 Sterne gegeben...
There has been a gradual decline in production values from more or less his first few films, there have been the ocassional glimmers of hope offered but these are very much few and far between unfortunately.
This film, 'Marked for Death', is generally considered to be one of his very best outings, released in 1990 it was an early hit but further established him as one of the leading action stars following 'Nico/Above the Law' Above the Law [Blu-ray] [2009] [US Import ], Nico - Above The Law [Blu-ray][Region Free ] and 'Hard to Kill' Hard to Kill [Blu-ray] [1990] [US Import ].
The film has a pretty standard storyline for this genre, but it has a pretty strong cast and a particularly memorable villian in 'Screwface'; the fight scenes are some of the very best from Seagal's career and the film is both tightly scripted and directed, with a couple of classic one liners eg. "One thought he was invincible, the other thought he cold fly............ they were both wrong"!
I won't take the time here to provide a synopsis of the storyline, I can imagine that there are few purchasing this Blu-ray who have not seen the film at some point, I will instead concentrate on the reasons as to why someone who may already own this film on DVD should re-invest in this high definition version from America.
Ok, first things first, this Blu-ray disc is REGION FREE.
Secondly the disc casing whilst having the same general dimensions as UK versions is the thinner American type, measuring 10mm thick (rather than 15mm), I only mention this because it may bother some, personally I think I actually prefer them!
The running time of the feature is 93 minutes, the UK DVD release is 89 minutes, and therein lies the first advantage of this version, it is UNCUT.
Just about all of the Region 2 DVD releases of Steven Seagal's early films (ie. the best ones!) have been heavilly censored; I actually first became aware of this several years a go when I purchased the Region 1 DVD version of 'On Deadly Ground', this much maligned film certainly has its faults but I simply could not believe just how much better the longer uncut version was.
And so it is also the case here.
The main difference is that the scenes of violence are generally just that little longer, the camera shots linger just that second or two more when a limb has been broken for instance, but trust me when I say that it makes a huge difference. With my Region 2 DVD version I have always found the fight scenes in this film to be badly edited with them appearing clearly cut, always changing to another angle as the actual trauma occurs, in this version they flow much more realistically and the breaks that Steven Seagal applies to the various villians limbs are far more gratuitous with the camera lingering on the shot for that few seconds longer, this version of 'Marked for Death' feels like a quite different film and the violence at times is graphic.
The film has many additions to the fight scenes, in fact just about every violent encounter has additional footage, and although there are no major alterations to the actual story, what changes there are do add up to it being very different to the UK version.
With regards to the audio and visual improvements, they are superb.
This Blu-ray release of 'Marked for Death' delivers everything and more that you could hope for from a 1080p High Definition transfer of a film that is now over twenty years old.
I have played it side by side to my DVD version for comparison and the difference in clarity is that of 'night and day', the sharpness of the image on the surface textures is very impressive indeed, I would actually go so far as to say that it is the most impressive Blu-ray transfer of a back catalogue film that I have seen to date. The original DVD version was not of a particularly good quality, I was already aware of that, but when comparing it to this version I simply could not believe the difference; I have watched this film a fair few times of the years, probably 30+ when I think about it, and I would say that it almost felt like I was watching a different film, I simply could not believe the amount of detail and features that I had not previously noticed!
The sound is also excellent, although it is not such a huge improvement as the picture, the upgrade to 5.1 DTS-HD from the DVD's Stereo is still very noticeable; despite these audio improvements I still have to use the subtitles to understand the villians (those familiar with this film will know what I mean!).
With regards to the subtitles they are provided in just English and Spanish; the aforementioned audio track is provided in English 5.1 DTS-HD, English and French Dolby Surround and Spanish Mono.
The disc is absolutely bare bones with the menu screen just offering 'Play', 'Set up' (audio & subtitles) and 'Scenes'.
Overall I am really pleased with this Blu-ray; despite already owning the film on DVD (and VHS before that!) it has still proved to be a most worthwhile acquisition, with the added bonus of having additional footage that improves the film on top of the massively improved picture quality, thus making it a justifiable purchase for anyone regardless of whether they already own it on DVD or not.
