Bloodstone Blu-ray Review

Score: 72

from 3 reviewers

Review Date:

Bloodstone's plot feels overcomplicated and humor falls flat, though the technical merits and well-crafted supplementary package make it noteworthy for collectors.

Video: 74

Despite some rough moments and spikes in grain, Arrow Video's Blu-ray release of Bloodstone offers a surprisingly gorgeous 2K restoration with accurate skin tones, lush colors, deep black levels, stable presentation, and commendable detail, particularly in natural environments.

Audio: 75

Bloodstone's audio presentation features DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0 tracks. The 5.1 track provides good ambient spatial accuracy and dynamic gunfire muscle, although mainly utilizes the rears to swell the score. Dialogue is mostly clear across both tracks, with notable low-end presence in the stereo version.

Extra: 73

Extras on the Bloodstone Blu-ray include two insightful commentaries—one from director Dwight H. Little and another from journalist Bryan Reesman—plus an eccentric 28-minute self-interview by Nico Mastorakis and an informative 22-minute audio essay on Rajinikanth by Josh Hurtado, though it suffers from poor sound quality; trailers and a 28-still image gallery round out the offering.

Movie: 52

Bloodstone, a B-grade action film set in India, features Tamil superstar Rajinikanth in his first English language role and boasts exotic location scenery. Despite its attempt at mimicking '80s adventures like Romancing the Stone, it suffers from unexciting pacing, lackluster performances, and disjointed dialogue.
