  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based upon the novel by John Le Carr

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits images that can be nicely rendered. Colors are warm, and generally well-balanced, with deep blacks. Contrast seems a bit low, with limited detail at times. Otherwise, the picture is generally sharp. Edge enhancement is very prominent, but signs of pixelization are infrequent. Overall, the picture has a somewhat smeared and undefined character. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
