DVD Review: Even Money - Page 3

Audio/Video. The disk I have is a promo copy, and not the final production version, so I cannot attest to this being exactly the same as what you will find in stores. I can only hope that it is better. The 5.1 audio was okay, there is nothing to really stretch the limits or anything; it serves its purpose. Video, on the other hand, looks terrible. It is littered with digital noise and lacks much in the way of detail. It was rather ugly to watch. Again, this is a promo copy, hopefully not a representation of what you will find in the stores.

Extras. Bonus material is limited to the original trailer, plus trailers for Haven and The Illusionist.

Bottom line. A bore. Not the worst movie I have ever seen, not even the worst I have seen recently, but that does not save it from the dreaded "Not Recommended" tag. Despite the great cast (on paper), the story fails to deliver anything of interest. The movie left me wanting something more, something of substance. Better luck next time.

Not Recommended.
