      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Joe Moore (Hackman) is a veteran thief who is so cool, when he goes to bed sheep count him. Nobody can get the goods like Joe. That

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits images that are nicely rendered, with pleasing sharpness and detail. Though the picture can have a slightly soft appearance, the overall quality is quite natural. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. The source element is revealing of occasional dirt and film grain, but nothing that should be too distracting. There is some minor pixelization, but rarely is there edge enhancement noticed.

    Reason #71 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before reading WSR I was an electronics nebbish. After reading WSR for more than a year, my friends and family consult me on purchasing TVs, sound systems, DVD players, and DVDs. I explain to them the differences between HDTV ready and capable, how to select a TV, DVD, and sound system and recommend that they become an expert like me by buying a copy of WSR. My life has new meaning!
