The colors are bright and vivid, and flesh tones are natural and consistent, except for a couple scenes where the flesh tones distorted slightly. The contrast levels are right on, high visible detail, with accurate and deep shadow layering. The audio is presented via a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, which more than handles this material well. While a movie of this style doesn't depend on high impact audio, that doesn't mean the audio experience isn't good. The score sounds full, and the surrounds do see some action, just with subtle audio.
Dialogue is the main focus, with each word ringing with clarity and volume consistency.
It's not a slap you in the face mix, but it sounds great for this type of movie. While not as loaded as some other of New Line's Platinum Series titles, this disc has more than its fair share of bonus features. Some discs feature talent files, as does this one. You can also access various cameo appearances via a special menu, which is a nice touch if you want a guide to the cameos, and there are many of them. A seventeen minute featurette is included, which focuses on Robert Altman.
