    Gosh, this movie tries to be so sophisticated. It fails, however. Miserably. The plot has holes the size of Texas (pun intended) and the acting seems really amateur.
    The video transfer is ok, though not spectacular.
    The DD 5.1 soundtrack is as flat as a flat tire (pun intended once again). There is no usage of the surrounds except for a lame try to bring some crickets to life in one of the late night desert scenes.
    The menus are static and dull.
    There are no extras at all.
    Bottom line - a dull movie with perhaps good intentions, but really bad performances.
