In "The Tracker," Aiden's (Lundgren) wife and daughter were abducted and killed during a vacation. A decade later, a detective with new evidence calls Aiden to the scene of the crime––but Aiden arrives to find the cop murdered and the police reusing to help. Now, Aiden must use his skills as a sniper and warrior to unravel the vast conspiracy behind his loved ones' murders. (Gary Reber)

The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally using the Red Epic camera system and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. Picture quality is uneven and generally mediocre. Color fidelity is drab, lacking any dynamic quality. Likewise, contrast is crushed, with poor black levels and wanting shadow delineation. Resolution is generally good, but only during close-ups. This is an Italian-produced movie that lacks the pizzazz and visual effectiveness of good cinematography. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack has a very active music score with a strong surround presence. Atmospherics are "produced" sounding. Sound effects are generally good, such as gunfire. Foley sound effects also sound overly "produced." The worst of the soundtrack is the strong forwardness of the dialogue, which lacks any proper sense of spatial integration. This is a mediocre soundtrack at best. (Gary Reber)
