      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The gangs of a UK neighborhood unite to form an all-powerful confederation. But The Purifiers

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD picture is thematically dark, with deep blacks contrasted by vibrant color. Images are sharp, though finer details can appear smeared at times. There is some pixelization, but no bothersome edge enhancement. Occasional grain is revealed in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #49 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Reading Widescreen Review for the past four years has been a liberating experience for me. Issue after issue you continue to write the most intelligent, full depth, and logical reviews and you do not pull any punches. I've bought many of my home theatre items after reading about them in WSR, and I must say they perform exactly as you have written in your reviews. I'll be a customer for a long, long time. Thanks for a great magazine.
