WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced DVD picture looks virtually identical to the previous DVD. The additional footage is seamlessly added into this anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD, which exhibits a stylized picture with a color palette that helps to visually depict an African setting (shot in Hawaii). Hues can have sultry saturation, with warm golds, lush greens, and bold blood reds that pop from an injured patient. Blacks are especially deep and solid. Images are sharp and nicely defined, with satisfying textures and perfectly detailed stubble on Bruce Willis
