Faraday is a college lecturer who gives classes about terrorism and associated acts of violence and Bridges gives a good performance when detailing a particular operation which resulted in the death of his FBI agent wife Leigh when it all went badly wrong. He is now trying to rebuild his life with a new love, Brooke (Hope Davis) and his son Grant (Spencer Clark).

Being the suspicious type though, after getting to know his new neighbours better he begins to suspect Lang, an architect by apparent profession, is up to something and the more he discovers, the more he starts to take an unhealthy interest in Lang's actions and finds he's a terrorist who changed his name and his past. Faraday's only friend who can help him is FBI Agent Whit Carver (Robert Gossett), previously police partner to his late wife Leigh.

To give any more of the plot away would negate the point in watching the film, but it's safe to say that it does have intriguing confrontation scenes and the final twenty minutes of the film are very suspenseful, culminating with a great twist in the tale which gives you plenty of food for thought and on reflection makes some of the earlier, more mundane scenes take on a new meaning.

The picture quality on this disc is almost perfect. While it's anamorphic and free of artifacts, at times the image seems slightly stretched and it's not down to the geometry of my TV so you occasionally get people with paunchy faces. Perhaps it's there throughout the film but it doesn't show up all the time depending on what you're looking at.

The average bitrate is a high 7.50Mb/s, often peaking just over 9Mb/s and the film is presented in its original widescreen ratio of 2.35:1.

The sound is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 for both English and German languages. The score builds tension throughout, particularly in the opening credits and the car chase towards the finale. I have no complaints with the rest of it either.
