      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Nicholas Gunnar (Lundgren) and a team of ex-Special Forces mercenaries are Men Of War: hired to carry out a secret operation and overtake a tropical island that is loaded with precious jade. Once there, the men realize how corrupt their operation is, they change their allegiances to defend the islanders.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and detailed picture, though at times images appear slightly hard-edged. Colors are rich, with nicely balanced fleshtones, and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation appear natural. The source element is revealing of a bit of grain, and a few minor artifacts. Pixelization and edge enhancement are noticed, but the picture should be generally pleasing. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #19 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’ve been reading WSR since Issue 1. I have never had any problem, any misunderstanding, or any doubt about their published articles or interviews. They are absolutely thrust full. The articles look like a Master Business Course. It is a fantastic well-written magazine with brilliant topics, thanks to the capacity of the editors and their teams. Years ago, I discussed this in Las Vegas with a George Lucas THX engineer, and at the end of two hours he agreed with me. My information was based on all the WSR issues I had read.
