Your Opinions and Comments
While the plot isn`t too original, the movie manages to be thrilling throughout.
The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs to be seen and the picture is quite nice. Some scenes (especially in the house by the beach) include semi-breathtaking parts, which probably include some very subtle special effects.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are used occasionally yet not overwhelmingly, as they should in this kind of a movie.
The menus are still and silent.
The extras include a commentary by the director and editor. That`s it.
Bottom line - a good thriller, some fine acting, yet, alas, an almost bare disc.
