      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gordy Brewer (Schwarzenegger) is a peace-loving Los Angeles firefighter whose wife and son are killed in a terrorist bombing meant for FBI counterterrorist agent Peter Brandt (Koteas). After hearing his family

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. The color scheme is well balanced, with natural fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Filters are used, on occasion, to create atmospheric differences between scenes and locations. There are traces of edge enhancement noticed, as well as pixelization, but nothing that is too terribly distracting. Overall, the picture provides a satisfying visual experience. (Suzanne Hodges)

    D-Box Motion Code™ Review:
    Collateral Damage
    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
