Redford is his usual suarve self, Pitt his usual cocky self and the only other
name, Catherine McCormack, doesn't stretch herself at all, all adding to an
entirely forgettable film. The rest of the cast includes two underused actors:
Larry Bryggman (Bruce Willis' boss in Die Hard with a Vengeance)
as CIA bigwig Troy Folger and British actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste
as Redford's secretary Gladys, sporting a dodgy American accent. There's also a
couple of cameos for
Dale Dye
and Omid Djalili.
Redford and Pitt discuss what to do about the hackneyed script.
However, there's nothing wrong with the audio-visual side of things on this
DVD. The picture's framed at the original 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen ratio
with zero artifacts, while the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is spot-on too, being loud and obtrusive
when it needs to be, usually by sending helicopters in, as well as quiet,
usually in the many, endless boardroom scenes. If I had any complaint with
this, it's that there's a lack of a DTS soundtrack which accompanies the
Region 1 DVD.
The extras begin with a 2-minute Trailer in anamorphic 16:9 and scores
of mini-featurettes about casting the main actors, chat with technical
advisors, a brief part about the suicide bombing scene in Nebaa and a little
bit of info about each location used in the film. However, the featurettes
only total around 23 minutes, plus there's nearly 13 minutes of Deleted
Scenes plus a 7-minute Alternative Ending. The extra footage is
shown in the original 2.35:1 ratio and is anamorphic, but the quality is far
from hot. However, each of the additional scenes come with optional director's
commentary.
There are 20 chapters to the film, subtitles in English only and the menus are
nicely animated and scored.
