      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In the 141-year history of the United States Secret Service, there has never been a traitor

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2:40:1 DVD picture can look good, but it is pretty rare. Flesh tones are accurate, looking healthy in outdoor scenes and pallid when under fluorescent lighting. The source element is very clean. There are scenes that can look terrible, with heavy pixel breakup and noticeable MPEG-2 artifacts. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #114 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I appreciate the technical nature of your DVD reviews; that is, the way you rate the sound and picture quality of newly released DVDs. The reviews in most other magazines are concerned not with how good the DVD is, but with just the film itself: quality of the script, actors' performances, etc., all of which are subject to the critic's personal tastes, which may be wildly different from my own.
