    Story Synopsis:
    A discredited journalist (Gere), a seasoned cameraman (Howard), and an up-and-coming journalist (Eisenberg), decide to pursue and capture Bosnia's most-wanted war criminal. The reporters

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.33:1 DVD exhibits a good sense of dimensionality, with solid black levels and nicely rendered shadow delineation. Color fidelity is good, with nicely delineated fleshtones that have natural hues. There are times, especially indoors, when flesh can have an unnaturally reddish tone. Details are nicely captured, with good resolution. The picture looks quite good, and while minor pixilation can be noticed from time to time, it generally does not become a distraction. Edge enhancement is recognizeable but generally does not damage the imagery. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
