      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Randy Daytona (Fogler) is a disgraced former ping-pong champion who is drawn back into the world of competitive, high-stakes table tennis by the F.B.I., to carry out a top secret mission. Randy is recruited to ferret out the the notoriously evil, Feng (Walken), whose thriving criminal empire has transformed him into a truce menace to society. Hopefully, Randy

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.84:1 DVD exhibits murky black levels that can cause the image to look flat and lifeless. Details are captured well, though, with good resolution, especially in the close shots. Colors are generally undersaturated, and the color palette is typically limited to hues of red and brown. Shadow delineation is adequately well resolved, but the darkest portions of the image are flat. Edge enhancement and compression artifacts are noticeable throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
