Wild Search offers a pleasing blend of romance and action in a solid Blu-ray transfer, though it's more sentimental than energetic action fans might prefer.

Video: 58

The Blu-ray release of 'Wild Search' from Eureka Entertainment features a 1080p, AVC encoded presentation in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. While the image maintains a filmic look with stable colors and no print damage, the source master reveals issues with odd framing and noisy grain, impacting overall visual coherence.

Audio: 73

The Blu-ray of 'Wild Search' offers a commendable audio presentation with Cantonese LPCM Mono at 48kHz, 24-bit, showcasing excellent clarity, sharpness, and dynamic handling of action scenes, while English subtitles are clear, albeit swift for slower readers.

Extra: 51

The Blu-ray extras of 'Wild Search' are standard for Eureka Classics, with highlights including an insightful new audio commentary by Frank Djeng on the film's production, an archival interview with Roy Cheung, and a comprehensive 70-minute interview with voice-over artist Simon Broad, supplemented by a detailed collector's booklet.

Movie: 66

Ringo Lam's Wild Search intriguingly fuses action and melodrama, its cinematic intensity offset by conventional romance, with Andrew Law's cinematography emphasizing dynamic shootouts yet overshadowed by the film's emotive, albeit inconsistent narrative—a daring, genre-blending showcase for Chow Yun-Fat.
