This DVD release provides solid video and audio, but nothing spectacular. The scenes in which a loud gunshot or melodic soundtrack were needed, were met with an ample supply of 5.1 surround sound force. The extras were feeble, only providing some insights to casting and directing. There were also a few deleted scenes that seem to be necessarily cut from the film.

This film starts out being fun and sexy, and ends with a dark and edgy tone. The performances during the film were believable and entertaining, and the direction kept the film fun and exciting. Even though the film's DVD release is not a powerhouse for your home theater, overall the performances in this film make it worth seeing.

The Upside:
The director keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout a film that features Clive Owen in his first leading role.
The Downside:
A somewhat predictable twist.
On The Side:
The movie was released approximately two months after the derailment of a Metra commuter train that killed two people and injured 80 in Chicago. Although no train derails in the movie, Metra tried unsuccessfully to get the title changed.
