  A strong HD debut from Sandpiper Pictures. The gritty ’70s Texas aesthetic—sun-bleached streets, shadowy interiors, and vintage vehicles—comes through with solid clarity. Film grain remains natural, while contrast and detail hold up well. Occasionally the softness indicates a modest master, but this is a clean, faithful presentation

  The 5.1 mix delivers well-balanced dialogue and ambiance. Action moments—car chases, street scenes—benefit from good surround use, and the score is integrated without overpowering the front channels. Crisp and immersive

Rush dives into undercover narcotics work in ’70s Texas, with Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh delivering gritty performances supported by Sam Elliott’s mentor presence. It doesn’t break new ground, but it’s a solid crime drama.
