The casting of Mel Gibson as Nick Marshall is perfect. Gibson is well known as an action hero, but he is also comfortable mocking himself. Not many of Hollywood's testosterone crowd could get away with prancing around in pantyhose and eyeliner, but somehow this star of Braveheart makes it work. Paramount continues their tradition of solid transfers for this release. The anamorphic picture is nearly flawless with no visible artifacting and only slight edge enhancement.
Colors are all accurate and vibrant and the darker scenes still retain detail.
The sound is also very good. For the most part, the surround channels remain extremely subtle, but some scenes make very good use of the rear speakers. Overall, the sound mix matches the various moods of the film. Paramount is getting better and better about adding extra features to their discs. While this one can't compare to some of the feature-heavy releases of late, it does have the extras that count.
