The Paper Tigers features a stable and detailed 1.85:1 AVC image from Arri Alexa Minis, likely mastered at 2K, with excellent fine details and natural palette, though some indoor and nighttime scenes suffer from murky black levels and slight yellow skew.

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track on 'The Paper Tigers' delivers powerful, impactful bass during action scenes while maintaining clear dialog upfront. Though it may lack constant immersion, the surround channels engage dynamically during key moments, especially in fight sequences.

The extras on 'The Paper Tigers' Blu-Ray, including a behind-the-scenes look, detailed production design insights, and an engaging piece on Seattle's oldest Chinese restaurant, add significant value. With 23 minutes of deleted scenes, 7 minutes of bloopers, and trailers, the disc is thoughtfully authored for seamless viewing.

Movie: 66

The Paper Tigers navigates the blend of martial arts tropes and mid-life realism with a tongue-in-cheek approach, delivering an engaging, albeit occasionally predictable, narrative where aging practitioners grapple with diminished abilities and personal turmoils while unraveling their master's mysterious death.
