      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Frank Martin (Statham) is "The Transporter," and he's very good and very discreet doing what he does. After being hired to make a delivery to a client known as Wall Street (Schulze), Frank breaks one of his rules

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is generally sharp and detailed, though a greater amount of detail is apparent on the D-VHS D-Theater

    Soundtrack:
    The D-VHS D-Theater

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
