He loosens up a bit, and his character thrives because of it. Cameron Diaz also turns in an above average performance, playing the woman in need role to near perfection. The movie uses some visual techniques to enhance the visual impact of the film, so the darker tones and muted colors are intentional, so don't freak out. Within the specified range, the image looks excellent and sharp, free from compression errors and print damage. Colors, despite their muted tones, still manage to look bright, and flesh tones are natural and free from distortion.
Contrast seems overly dark, but that's the way it's supposed to appear.
Shadows are well defined and detail is very high, even in the darkest of places. The audio is replicated via a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but the surrounds have the night off, with most of the audio sticking to the front channels. There is some surround use, but it is minor and infrequent. This is not a bad thing though, since the movie is driven by dialogue, which resides in the front channels. Dialogue sounds perfect, with no volume issues and high grade clarity.
