“Flashpoint: The Complete First Season”
Reviewer:
Wayne Klein
Studio: CBS/Paramount Home Video
Genre:
TV-Series
Release Date:
10/13/09
Special Features:

Commentary on the pilot, two featurettes

Review:

SRU. It might seem like a meaningless series of random letters. It’s not. The Strategic Response Unit rescues hostages, profiles bad guys and generally busts bad guys that no one else can bust. Starring Enrico Colantoni and Amy Jo Johnson the series only ran 13 episodes for the first season and an entertaining first season it is. While not “24” or “The Unit” the show has its merit. ---

Image & Sound:

“Flashpoint” doesn’t look, well, flashy but it’s a solid enough transfer. Colors are quite good with nice detail although there are a few hints of digital compression artifacts that crop up now and again. ***

The 5.1 mix sounds quite good with a nice use of the Surround speakers. ---

Special Features:

We get quite a good commentary track on the pilot by director David Frazee. The bulk of the special features two featurettes are on the last disc. “Flashpoint: Behind the Scenes-Season 1” is a fairly standard EPK (Electric Press Kit). ***

“The Human Cost of Heroism” is a featurette that focuses on what the characters do in the series and how it is reflected in real life. ---

Final Words:

While it might lack the flashy big budget of many other shows, "Flashpoint" is highly entertaining and worth at least a rental.
