I had lost track of when this was coming out, I thought this was a fun shitty movie and look forward to revisiting it.

Watching this disc my immediate thought was that it looked like it got hit with Sony's crush stick, as I didn't recall it being as dark theatrically. But the more I read about it the more I think it's just how the film was shot.

"We wanted him deep in the shadows, underexposed, but we still wanted to see Michael’s eyes piercing out through the darkness."

"David wanted the film to have a specific kind of style and look. We looked at a lot of darker looking films like Klute and All The President’s Men. We had select still photography as points of reference. We wanted to sculpt the light a certain way. The first act runs the risk of feeling like a romantic comedy until we see who this “perfect guy” really is. We brought in some visual elements that were a little darker to foreshadow the arc of Michael Ely’s character. There was darkness and black within the frame pretty much all the time. It helped that David and I were on the same wavelength. We had a lot of the same touchstone visual references. David has a background in cinematography. He’s very visual which also helped the entire process."

"Rosenthal: Mulholland Drive was one of our references, along with Fincher and Cronenweth and Harris Savides – I wanted really black blacks with subtle gradations."

To be honest I'd feel less conflicted if this wasn't a US Sony disc for a recent release.

So is this movie any good? Is it worth buying once it hits $10?

I think the movie is a lot of fun. It's a really formulaic thriller, but I enjoyed it both times I watched it quite a bit. All the actors are having fun with their roles.

I thought that the movie was entertaining.
