      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Fathom Harvill (Welch) is an American skydiver touring Europe when she's approached by a secret agent (Fraser) asking for her help in locating a nuclear weapons detonator. But when Fathom discovers that she's been duped, this sexy spy must turn the tables on her employer. Based on a novel by Larry Forrester. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is fairly pleasing for the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo soundtrack is a substantially dated recording, affecting fidelity and exhibiting distortion. The stereophonic presence of the audio is feeble. (An English mono soundtrack is also included.) (Perry Sun)

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
