Your Opinions and Comments
It tells the story of trying to sell a future to innocent people over the phone. WOW! Intriguing... .
The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs and the picture is pretty sharp. The disk includes the widescreen version of the movie, along with the fullscreen version.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is a bit flat. There`s no usage of the surrounds, but since most of the movie is made of dialogs, it`s acceptable.
The menus are animated yet silent.
The disk offers no extras at all.
Bottom line - a weak movie and an even weaker disk make this a "no thanks, I`ll look for something else" choice.
