Out of Sight is an experience in how to do a DVD right. Featuring a widescreen 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital Sound, this DVD has all of the major elements of a great disc. Director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Frank have a good rapport on the commentary track as they discuss the development of the project. Soderbergh also provides an invaluable guide to his thought process and inspiration by discussing his motivations behind the film's unusual editing and cinematography. The disc also features not a quick "making of" featurette, but rather an extensive behind-the-scenes look that is just as interesting as the commentary. Rounding out the list of major features is a deleted scenes reel. While it would have been nice to have them divided by a menu, the quality of the deleted scenes (including the trunk scene as Soderbergh originally envisioned it) makes sitting through the entire reel worthwhile. Also included are trailers and a menu devoted to the music in the film. Out of Sight is an essential disc for any collection and a benchmark for special edition DVDs.
