Matchstick Men [WS]

"Ridley Scott's con man comedy drama Matchstick Men comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Scott's films always offer striking visuals, and this disc does a solid job of capturing his work in the movie. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Scott and screenwriters Nicholas Griffin and Ted Griffin. The director was recorded separately from the brothers, but the two tracks are edited together well, with each commenting on the other as the film progresses. They offer much insight into the development of the script, and make it readily apparent that it was a pleasant work experience for everyone involved. An extensive making-of documentary rounds out this solid DVD."
