Aaron Eckhart gives another credible performance, though he's left out in the cold far too much. But the real romance of Erin Brockovich is between Masry and Brockovich. No, it's not what you would call a traditional romance, but there's certainly a seduction going on and Roberts and Finney makes the sparks fly with more good humor. Positively filmlike, the transfer includes a great variety of lighting situations and unfailingly presents them with life. There is no edge enhancement whatsoever and no excess noise in the picture.
Colors are lively, accurate, and stable.
Flesh tones are presented in a wide and subtle spectrum. The on-target quirky score from Thomas Newman enhances the production and is recorded on the DVD with nice separation and excellent level control. . The heart of the special edition are 25 deleted scenes that can be played with or without the commentary of director Steven Soderbergh. The scenes are all good, but you can see that they don't really advance the film or make it better. Some are funny, some are poignant, but is the film better for them.
