      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After losing his job, finding his building condemned, and walking in on his girlfriend in a compromised position, Slevin (Hartnett) grabs a plane to New York to spend two R/R weeks with long-time friend, Nick. Yet when he arrives at Nick

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture generally looks good, with natural skin tones and well-rendered contrast and shadow delineation. This provides impressive detail in the dark scenes. But, the picture is a touch on the soft side for the most part, which can make it difficult to differentiate between textures. Whites can be blown-out, often causing bleeding. Edge enhancement is noticeable, often times annoyingly so, and can detract from the overall picture quality. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs. Thanks to your publication, most of my video library is letterboxed. I am now prepared for my dream HDTV. Thanks for the information that allows me to prepare for the future!
