      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Big city over-achieving super-cop, Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is so good at his job he makes the other officers on the police force look like a bunch of pathetic slackers. When the head of the police department

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.34:1 DVD looks very good, with solid black levels and well-rendered shadows. Details are crisp with good resolution and contrast is balanced nicely. Color bleeding can be noticed at times, but it is not consistently so. Compression artifacts and pixilation are not much of a problem, but jagged edges can be noticed at times. Edge enhancement is not overly noticeable. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
