An aggressive Dolby Vision pass brings Out of Sight into the modern tech era. It's immediately intense, giving this late '90s production significant energy. Brightness peaks high and avoids clipping. Equally impressive black levels add the spark to create the impressive dimensionality.

Other than the slightest ringing, Kino's presentation remains pure. Well managed encoding preserves the film stocl, and that deserves kudos as Out of Sight's source sports a thick grain structure. That keeps the detail flying by, texture evident in droves. Close-ups push facial detail constantly. Exteriors and their sharpness spare nothing, resolution spectacular, using the full capabilities of 4K.

Appreciating warmth, a refreshed color grading pumps up flesh tones to a hefty orange. This however does press the primaries into action, especially the ridiculously vivid reds. Other primaries stand out too, not lost due to the modern processes. Once into Detroit, the blues take hold, the same effect as the amber hues did in Miami; it's equally aggressive.

Audio

Stereo and 5.1 DTS-HD are on offer. Stick with the surround track. A nice split keeps small details moving through the soundstage, whether it's a waiter's footsteps passing off screen or a car panning across the fronts. The jazzy score pleasingly bounces around, jumping to the surrounds as much as the stereos. Prison crowds fill each speaker.

Smooth, jazzy music strums into the low-end to engage the subwoofer. Out of Sight isn't a frequent user of bass, but as needed, it's firm.
