I assume this is a made for HBO movie, as it is presented full frame, and has the look of such a film. Having recently watched "Made Men," another made for HBO flick, I had high hopes for this movie, especially since the case told me it was written by Frank Darabont, director of The Shawshank Redemption. Now, it was no Shawshank by any means, but this is a fun action filled romp, chase fans will be very interested. The movie has lower than usual production values, so don't expect miracles, although some of the stunts and effects are quite good. This movie is for viewers who like chases and action movies only, all others will probably not enjoy this as much. Now, I don't think this is a movie to purchase, unless you are a die hard chase lover, but it is worth a rent. It will make for a fun weekend rental, that's for sure.

Since the movie was made for television, the print looks very nice, with little wear signs and flecking. Althought some may scoff at the full frame ratio, the movie was shot for television, so I assume the ratio is correct. There is no obvious panning to be seen. One thing that struck me about the visuals of this film are the desert landscapes, which look beautiful, and this disc makes them look as good as they ever have. Colors look natural, with vivid primaries and correct flesh tones and darker hues. Thanks to correct black levels, even the darkest shadows retain full detail, a plus for a movie like this, with plenty of darker scenes. I could not see any compression errors in the transfer either, a top notch transfer all the way.

The audio is simply put, acceptable. With this type of movie, plenty of gun fire and squealing tires, I expected a more active audio track, but such was not the case. It's not bad however, it could just be better. There is some moderate surround use, but the majority of the audio is focused toward the front channels. I was disappointed with the audio, but if you don't expect as much as I did, you'll have no complaints. The track does a superb job at capturing the low level effects, such as rocks rumbling under the cars, whispering, audio of that type. The dialogue sounds good, with solid clarity and good seperation between audio elements. A decent track, but I wonder how good this would have been in a deluxe 5.1 track. No supplements are included, aside from some meager talent files.
