    Matthew Modine stars as Will Parker, a hotshot sailor who gets picked for the America

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a generally sharp and detailed picture, with contrast that, at times, can seem a bit low, limiting detail in the darker scenes.

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation.

Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
