      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Police officer Russell Stevens, Jr. (Fishburne) is chosen to go under Deep Cover to bring down a major drug ring. The DEA wants him because he appears to be able to completely immerse himself in the world of crime due to his past. So, he starts at the bottom and works his way up the criminal hierarchy. Stevens begins by winning the trust of the drug ring

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits image quality that can look excellent at times. Color fidelity is well balanced, with natural fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, often revealing of fine facial details, and exhibiting good depth and definition. The picture can be quite solid, but some scenes exhibit considerable film grain. Edge enhancement is noticed, and pixelization can create a digitally harsh appearance at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #97 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    My favorites are the articles that discuss cutting edge technologies. It keeps me up to date. I also find some of the product and DVD reviews helpful. I'm glad there are others that passionately care about delivering a theatrical experience in the home.
