      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gene Hackman stars in Uncommon Valor as the Colonel Jason Rhodes, who takes matters into his own hands after useless appeals to the government for any information about how to find Frank

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a dated picture that is quite nicely rendered, and is a nice improvement over the LaserDisc reviewed in Issue 22. Images exhibit good sharpness, detail and clarity, with nicely rendered contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. At times, the warm hues appear slightly smeared. Overall, the picture exhibits good depth and definition. There is some edge enhancement noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
