      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    ATF agent Doug Carlin (Washington) is investigating a bombing on a New Orleans ferry, when he is approached by FBI agent Pryzwarra (Kilmer) about a top-secret program they have developed. With a little case of Deja Vu, they are able to look back in time by four-and-a-half days, convincing Carlin that Claire Kuchever (Patton), one of the victims, holds the key to the investigation. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD, with its warm, desaturated color scheme, matches the storytelling nicely. While the colors are not as vibrant as more realistic-looking presentations, fleshtones still look relatively neutral. Images are generally resolved well, although some pixel breakup and noticeable edge enhancement can make a mess of that, and there are times when the video bit rates can make the picture look soft. Still, this can be a very good picture. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
