      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Putting his career on the line, Los Angeles

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD shows well-resolved details and deep blacks, and adequate shadow delineation to create a fairly natural, three-dimensional image. Colors are slightly muted, which does fit the story. Edge enhancement is minor, although there are scenes that combine lower bit rates with the edge enhancement to create a total mess. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #31 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Great resource for the home theatre enthusiast and industry professional alike. WSR has a nice combination of technical information and lively informative reviews of equipment and software, along with strong coverage of industry trends.
