Safe Men Blu-ray Review

Score: 40

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Safe Men offers a clever comedy held aloft by Michael Lerner's standout performance, though the Blu-ray's technical presentation is underwhelming.

Video: 38

Mill Creek's Blu-ray presentation of 'Safe Men,' encoded in MPEG-4 AVC at 1080p and 1.85:1, suffers from excessive DNR, resulting in a waxy, overly smooth image with poor detail retention, frequent digital artifacts, and oversaturated colors. While stable, it lacks the organic qualities expected for modern presentations.

Audio: 63

The Blu-ray of 'Safe Men' features an English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that delivers clear and sharp dialogue, though dynamic balance occasionally falters, with small fluctuations noticeable when music intensifies. The soundstage is well spread, capturing ambient details, yet evoking a slightly dated, analog feel.

Extra: 0

The Blu-ray release of 'Safe Men' offers merely a minimal A/V upgrade from the DVD, lacking bonus features, a menu, and any supplemental content to enhance the viewing experience.

Movie: 46

Safe Men offers an offbeat, low-volume take on mafia comedy, featuring a predictable plot saved by Michael Lerner's standout performance. Despite inconsistent chemistry among cast members and a sluggish pace, its understated humor and mix of absurdity make it a unique albeit uneven heist film.
