QUALITY:
For the most part the definition aspect is there for the film. Everything has a sharpness to it and skin tones come in very well but the film suffers from a drab static that hangs around for a majority of the film that sucks the life out of the films color. Its simply bland in a majority of the scenes. Audio is fantastic bringing to life the atmosphere of the films settings from car exhausts to gunfire balancing out well against dialogue. Not the greatest BD presentation in the world but decent enough.

BONUS FEATURES:
Bonus features add up to individual interviews on the making of the film from Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba plus a trailer.
