'Body Count' is currently only available as part of a two film bundle that also includes 'The Trigger Effect.'
The image is not bad at all, and it's certainly worlds better than its on-disc counterpart, The Trigger Effect. Unlike that transfer, this one maintains a relatively satisfying filmic feel. Despite the occasional pop or speckle, the image is very clean, steady, and true. Details are crisp and sharp across the board, from intimate skin textures to well defined environments. Colors are well balanced, favoring a pleasing, neutral contrast. Skin tones are fine and black levels are solid. There is no significant macroblocking, edge enhancement, or look of digital processing. This is a very satisfying budget image from Mill Creek.
The film opens with a robbery, a blaring alarm, a car chase, a shotgun blast, a crashing car, and an explosion. Each element is impressively hefty at the low end, with good stage positioning and feel for movement. Music plays with satisfying width and detail, though it remains largely the property of the front channels. The movie is surprisingly dialogue heavy for much of its runtime. Dialogue is mildly shallow at times but clarity is fine, as is prioritization. The track offers the intensity it needs when it needs it but is fairly reserved for music and atmosphere in between.
All that's included is a Theatrical Trailer (480i, 2:13) for Body Count.
The film is assembled in a series of flashbacks that put together the story prior to, and during, the robbery. The bulk of the film follows the men as they flee from the scene of the crime, attempting to travel to Miami. Their own internal strife ultimately proves more dangerous to their ultimate success than pursuing law enforcement. It's a solid, effective film. It's well acted, not entirely predictable, and very watchable. Mill Creek's Blu-ray delivers a very satisfying 1080p transfer and capable 5.1 channel lossless audio, but supplements are limited to a trailer. Recommended.
