      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on the book by Denis Johnson, Jesus

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits generally satisfying imagery that, at times, has a home video-type of character due to the vibrant colors and hand-held camera work. Images are generally sharp and detailed, though sometimes images appear slightly undefined. At times, hues border oversaturation and are wanting in a more open appearance. Edge enhancement can be a bit of a distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #46 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is a great source of knowledge for me, to help me know more about the hardware and how it operates. I get the kind of information I need to upgrade or tweak my system as best I can. I also value the reviews of DVDs that help me make purchasing decisions.
