      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When he's not able to reach his brother Davey (Meyers) on the telephone, former gangster Will Graham (Owen) heads back to London to speak with him in person. Discovering that Davey has died a brutal death, Will is determined to get to the bottom of who did it and why. But in doing so, Will has to rejoin the life he left behind, and there are those who neither want nor welcome his return. I

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits images that are satisfyingly sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures. Colors are understated, but well balanced, with natural fleshtones and hues, and deep blacks. There is some film grain inherent in the source element, at times providing a gritty texture. Edge enhancement can be a problem, but there is hardly any pixelization noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #124 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review for its informative articles and DVD and equipment reviews. Most of my DVD purchases come about after reading your reviews. I was also in the market for an intern projector (cheap) until the DLP projector matured and I could afford the more expensive Runco DLP projector. I went through all of my back issues; I have been a subscriber from your very first premier issue, and came across your article on the Sony VPL-HS10 Video Projector. I was so impressed with this article that I called around town to see who carries them and who had one hooked up, so I could review it. I was so impressed with the image quality for a projector in this price range that I ended up purchasing one, even though I was not in the market for an LCD projector. In fact, I have stopped subscribing to other home theatre magazines because I find your magazine to be more informative and straight-to-the-point. Thanks for your informative articles, and keep up the good work.
