Surprisingly strong is the film's very good Dolby Digital 5.0 soundtrack. I didn't expect much from this mix but it really works well. The soundfield generally favors the front but it really comes to life in the rear when it needs to do so. For example, the scenes of the crash wreckage sound absolutely terrific as the audio blends together wonderfully and creates a very realistic presence. The mix also knows when to back down and offer a quiet, centered track.
Audio quality seems consistently excellent.
Dialogue appeared clear, crisp and natural, with absolutely no intelligibility problems. Dave Grusin's lightly jazzy score sounds very warm and vibrant, and effects are realistic, clean and well-balanced. While the mix isn't challenging on many occasions and I doubt you'll use it to show off your system, I found it to be extremely satisfying and it complemented the film nicely. CTS don't bill Random Hearts as a special edition, but it offers enough supplements to qualify as one in my book. First up is a running audio commentary from director Sydney Pollack.
