      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Small-time crook Alvin Sanders (Foxx) is pleasantly surprised when he is released free and clear from his arrest for stealing shrimp...prawns actually. But when he

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits an excellent picture, with images that are sharp and finely detailed throughout. Colors are stylized with cold blue overtones, but with that in mind, hues are well balanced with deep, solid blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are superb. Edge enhancement is rarely a factor. Occasional fine details shimmer slightly, but distractions make up for a minute portion of the overall image quality. (Suzanne Hodges)

    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!
