      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Alex (Wilson) has 30 days to write a book so he can pay off his $100,000 gambling debt, or he

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is quite natural and easy-on-the-eyes, with a color scheme that is well balanced. Fleshtones are naturally rendered and hues are nicely saturated, with deep blacks. There are a few flecks of dust noticed in the source element. The picture is stylized to switch to a slightly muted color scheme as the characters delve into the novel that they are writing. The picture is very clean, with little in the way of bothersome edge enhancement but there is occasional pixel breakup. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
