Directional sound takes the spotlight in this. Every overdriven, screeching car, gun exchange, and heroic act is reproduced effortlessly clear. Surround channels are actively engaged throughout to sync with the video presentation and inject heart-racing excitement in Max’s attempt to escape from the hitmen. Punches from the subwoofer(s) add depth in the sound field while the accompanying background music scores layers within the action. Panic-stricken screams from bystanders emanate through your surround speakers to create a realistic on-screen portrayal that highlights the crescendo of this action-driven movie.
