      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Bill Gambini (Macchio) and Stan Rothenstein (Whitfield) are mistakenly charged with murder while traveling through Alabama, Bill tells Stan that they can hire

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD can be a little soft and a little dark at times. With an '80s look, the picture is generally sharp and detailed. Colors are nicely balanced with warm hues and undefined blacks. Fleshtones can appear a bit brownish. Source element artifacts pop up throughout the picture. There are lots of patterns in this movie-chain link fences in the jail and window blinds-that could create problems with aliasing and moir

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby(r) Digital 2.0 matrixed soundtrack is conventional movie stereo (surround sound music and mostly screen-oriented effects), and fidelity is somewhat dated. The multichannel element of the soundtrack is the music, which nicely fills the soundstage with a spacious presence, and has a solid low-end. Sound effects are mainly confined to the screen channels and are often mono with very subtle dimension. The dialogue is fairly good with voices that are adequately integrated with the visuals. This is film sound that is dated but nonetheless effectively serves its purpose.

    Reason #100 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I primarily read WSR for unbiased information concerning the future of HD DVD. Articles are written in such a way that the average consumer can understand the technology and benefits of HD DVD. It's nice to be able to read articles from purist videophiles/audiophiles who clearly state their opinion on technologies/products with clear, understandable supporting information. When I read WSR, I have no doubt that the information within is complete and accurate. It's a publication I can TRUST!
