DVD AUTHORITY review of Picasso Trigger and Hard Ticket DVD release 11/2001. These were two of my early features as DP... Picasso Trigger is presented in a full frame transfer. I was quite taken by the transfer here, as the image looks excellent and puts all previous editions to shame. The print used shows some minor flaws, but it cleaner than any prior home video version, with minimal debris and grain evident, very impressive work. The colors look lush and vibrant, with no signs of errors and flesh tones are natural as well. I saw no reason for concern with contrast either, as black levels are sharp and on the mark, no problems in the least there. I figured the image would be better than before, but I am very pleased with the result here, as Picasso Trigger has never looked better.
