The Movie: A lot of people didn't really like this movie. I believe that most of those people are the ones who saw this movie thinking they were going to see another Sixth Sense, since it was made by the same guy. This movie is not another Sixth Sense, but I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It's artfully made, with a "twist" ending, that isn't really twist, since it slowly reveals itself as the film progresses. I can't say if you'll like it or not, but all I can say is that I did, and that's about all I can say without giving away some stuff you may not want to know if you haven’t' seen this movie.

The DVD: This is a two disc set, with disc 1 containing the movie, and disc 2 containing the special features. The anamorphic transfer is pretty clean, although there are a few instances of stepped gradients and noise. But overall, it's a good transfer that conveys the subtle use of color that the director employed. Though the movie is mostly dialogue driven, the DTS 5.1 soundtrack is full and immersive, without getting cheesy on the surround effects.

The second disc surprised me with it's all anamorphic widescreen content. The behind the scenes documentary and the "Comic Books and Superheros" featurette were informative and interesting, and actually shot on film with a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Certainly above and beyond the behind the scenes you find on most DVD's! There is also a multi-angle sequence of the train station scene, where you can see either the final film, or the storyboards, set to either the final audio mix, just the score, or just the sound effects, all in Dolby Digital 5.1.

The deleted scenes were fully produced with the same 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen treatment as the main movie, and were actually quite good, featuring great performances by the actors. These scenes were cut to control the length of the film, and the pacing, not necessarily because they sucked. Particularly fun to watch was a second weightlifting scene where Bruce Willis' character goes to the weight room at the stadium he works at to see just how much he could lift. It was a great scene, but totally redundant, so it was cut. Each scene is introduced by the director (again, shot on film with a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer), and he explains why each scene was cut.

There is also a little home video made by the director and his friends in his home as a child -- his first ever fight sequence. Even this thing was cut into a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. All anamorphic! Great!

If you liked the movie, I highly recommend checking out this DVD as the special features are worth at least renting.
