***SYNOPSIS***



A year has passed since the hit thriller’s season finale found rogue ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) finally capturing his nemesis Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). With Carroll locked up on Death Row and Hardy back with the FBI – and in a stable relationship with an ER doctor (Zuleikha Robinson) – new threats emerge that have Hardy, Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore) and Hardy’s newly agented niece Max (Jessica Stroup) on edge and off balance. Unlike the known threat of Joe Carroll, each new danger is potentially more lethal because the FBI isn’t exactly sure where it’s coming from. But with psycho twin Mark Gray (Sam Underwood) still at large, Joe Carroll still haunting Ryan from behind bars, Carroll’s murderous mentor Dr. Arthur Strauss (Gregg Henry) in the background, and a new, meticulous chameleon-like killer (Michael Ealy) circling, Hardy soon realizes that Joe Carroll was only the beginning..

Get Hard Blu-ray Review






**SYNOPSIS**



When millionaire hedge fund manager James (Will Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate, he turns to Darnell (Kevin Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison.

Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to “get hard” and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other.





**VIDEO QUALITY**



Get Hard arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in the aspect ratio of 1.78:1 - The color palette is bright and well saturated. Skintones appear natural. Black levels were consistently deep and inky with excellent shadow delineation. The overall image is razor sharp and fine details in close-ups, clothing and and furniture textures, and on location scenes look fantastic. Outdoor scenes especially pop. I saw no signs of compression artifacts. 9/10


**AUDIO QUALITY**



Audio is provided by a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. - The funny dialogue is crisp and well defined. Surrounds were surprisingly active with some outlandish action scenes and also good environmental effects. Music cues from the mostly hip hop soundtrack provided plenty of deep bass. No cracks or pops to worry about. 9/10
