video - 3. It's a mislabelled cam! one can see what is happening, but it just doesn't look good. plus it's a videocd, not SVCD, so they reduced the quality even more by using mpeg1. plus half the screen is cut off, they cut off Basinger's head! lol
audio - 9. I was positively surprised - very good audio, good volume level and NOT hollow. audio has TS quality
movie itself - 9. It's a great movie! very intelligent. I don't understand why so many people say it's bad. Maybe because most people watch it on the surface, instead of reading between the lines. In fact this movie is not about corrupt cops, trying to destroy the evidence, but about
a) coming off age - a young boy is guided into adulthood by a mature woman
b) about the breakdown of communication in advanced technological capitalist society, presented in ironic light, because a means of communication (a cellphone) is used throughout the film, but communication is not properly established notwithstanding this fact.
The same theme was at the centre of the Cellular's script writer's previous film - Phone Booth - remember? Was a great movie, and Cellular is worthy watching too. Don't miss it!
