When Nelson achieves his task, three of the remaining four also begin to get ideas above their station. However, as if bringing someone back from the dead wasn't enough to bring about tension, old feelings and experiences are reawakened and one by one the students are forced to confront their demons from the past. Kiefer Sutherland plays Nelson, the first to go under, a man with a clear sense of direction to begin with, even if he has doubts later on. My Best Friend's Wedding being another, but here she, William Baldwin and Kevin Bacon each have their doubts about effectively killing themselves, but their curiosity gets the better of them. Oliver Platt , stays wise to the facts by opting not to find fame the easy way and chronicles the events into his dictaphone.
Perfection is the name for the picture quality on view here.
A bad encoding job could easily have helped the disc to fall apart at the mixture of blues and reds on display, but someone at Columbia deserves a big pay-rise for doing such a fine piece of work for one of my favourite films of all time. The sound quality is also spot-on. James Newton Howard's incredible score plus the sound FX as one encounters the after-life come across without a hitch. Just make sure the volume's loud. The original theatrical trailer is also included.
