The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is quite appetizing at times, with balanced, engaging surrounds and heavy bass punctuating the film's soundtrack. It's never very distracting, but once it catches your eye, it's quite annoying. It's possible this was caused by an equipment issue, but it seemed to do it on both players I tested the disc on. The only major issue noted was a slight stutter in the image every so often. The encode is solid, but also yields just a slight hint of banding every now and then. The transfer is certainly bold and incredibly detailed, with nuanced вЂњgrittyвЂќ color design and staggering image depth. The film is presented in 1080p/AVC (2.40:1), mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The Freelancers Blu-ray arrives courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment. But when you bring two decorated actors like Forest Whitaker and Robert De Niro onto a project, you kinda have to expect something a little deeper than Freelancers provides.

It's not offensively bad, at least, and it should play fine for those looking for a Saturday afternoon time-killer. There's really not much else to say about Freelancers. None of the characters are fleshed out in a realistic manner, and the New York setting obviously looks like New Orleans (where the film was shot). The film brings absolutely nothing new to the table, playing more like a low-rent direct-to-video MMA production that just happened to nab a few decent actors who needed a fast buck. The story, about a team of corrupt cops, is hardly anything earth-shattering or refreshing, either. His performance is downright embarrassing. Instead, he swaps between lifeless grins and an expressionless stare. He also offers absolutely no conviction whatsoever. And 50 Cent can barely spit his dialogue out. There's a shoehorned love subplot that never feels real, and an age-old vengeance angle that never resonates on an emotional level.

Otherwise solid performers seem to be phoning it in, picking up a quick paycheck and a few free meals in between takes. Every single scene is off pace, dragging on and on. Unfortunately, Freelancers is just one big mistake after another. And what about those realistic characters? Carbon cutouts work, right? And a complicated story? Well, the film certainly borrows cues from films that were considered complicated. The director is Jessy Terrero who, um, вЂњwowedвЂќ audiences with Soul Plane nearly a decade ago. You've got two A-list Academy Award-winning actors (Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker), but your righteous lead is played by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, a rapper who's no stunner in the acting department. The film definitely follows the formula above, but stumbles pretty quickly. Take a few solid actors, a righteous lead, a great director and meaty, realistic characters entrenched in a complicated story and you've got a good flick.ДЇreelancers is a cop drama, to be sure, but good it most certainly is not.

Films like Training Day just never seem to get old. Who doesn't love a good cop drama? There's just something about watching police officers fight off corruption and get their hands dirty along the way.
