    Story Synopsis:
    Based on a true story,

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD is a very satisfying visual experience, boasting beautiful cinematography. Images are sharp and detailed, with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Edge enhancement and pixelization are noticed, yet distractions are minimal. There are occasional artifacts noticed in the source element, but nothing to complain about. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
