Re: Street Kings

Has it really been 5 months since I saw this in the theater? I may rent the Blue-ray not sure if I'll buy it although I probably will.

Whitaker is just plain awesome in the roles he plays. This movie reminds me a bit of the grittiness from 'We Own The Night' which many hated and I liked.

Re: Street Kings

Just bought this movie on Blu-ray, and there seems to be some crackling going on in the center speaker. I know it's not my surround system, because I just did plenty of tests... going to Dolby and back, trying other movies... I even checked the previews of this movie, and there aren't any issues. It's only when the movie starts that I hear it.

Does anybody else have this problem?

Re: Street Kings

I tried to exchange this for another copy at F.Y.E. but they didn't have anymore.

So I went to Best Buy to ask them what they thought the issue was. They even had a set-up with a Blu-ray player and a Samsung HT-AS720S surround system like mine, so I tested it out there. The first guy I talked to said he only heard it once, but the second guy heard it just as much as I did. That means it's a high-frequency issue, but it still could be a poor transfer deal.

Like I said, there's no issue in the previews, switching to French, etc. But there still is the issue in the movie, even when I downgrade to 5.1 Dolby Digital. Still the same thing... even on the Best Buy display. So I know for a fact that it's not my speakers.

Now I'm just wondering if anybody else notices the same sound issue. If you don't, then either I just have a bad disc, or I just have really good ears.

I bought it on Bluray and had no pitch issues. What kind of receiver do you have?

Re: Street Kings

Checked this out yesterday. Wasn't too bad, wasn't exactly great either. Cliched, convoluted beyond belief, and hard to follow at times.

Not to mention, as a law enforcement officer, it didn't exactly fill me with joy seeing how the profession was portrayed lol....I know it's just a movie though.

Re: Street Kings

I just saw this movie last night. I have been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD for some time now; I saw that some reviews were hard on the movie but, however I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't that bad.

Samsung HT-AS720S


I posted this on AVS Forum as well and a couple of other posters have noticed the same thing. I guess it's not just my disc.

Very interesting, I didn't notice any popping noises and we had the volume up rather high.

Re: Street Kings

I thought it was great. Bought it on DVD. Too bad Common and The Game didn't have bigger parts,well I guess they had big parts in relation to the story but more on screen time. That was my favorite part.

Re: Street Kings

Saw this movie twice in the last month and loved it! Great movie with some good twists.
