Your Opinions and Comments
You can either like or totally dislike Spacey. I usually dislike him. A lot! However, this movie makes it somehow impossible to dislike the actor (or his character). It`s all about one guy`s life - real or not.
The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs to be seen and the transfer is clean of any defects.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are used occasionally, but not overwhelmingly.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include 2 commentaries, 8 deleted scenes (including an alternate ending, which isn`t that different from the original one), a behind the scenes featurette, a storyboard and a picture gallery.
Bottom line - a nice movie with some fine acting and a decent disc to match.
