The Negotiator

"F. Gary Gray's hostage drama The Negotiator comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. They did a solid job considering how dark the actual film is much of the time. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are available in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include a short documentary about real-life hostage negotiators, a ""making of"" featurette, production notes, and a handful of theatrical trailers. Fans of the film will be pleased with the great sound and quality picture, but a commentary track by the actors would have made this a must-see."
