      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits an appropriately dark picture for the subject matter. Colors are dreary, but well balanced, with lots of grays, blues, and greens to give the picture a moody feel. Blacks are deep and solid throughout. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. The source element is revealing of film grain and occasional artifacts. Edge enhancement is minor, and there is little pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges) The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #14 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Well, I spent most of my young years in the military (U.S. Ranger). My father really got me going in home theatre gear. There’s nothing like getting a good movie on DVD, turning on my HDTV, my Sony a/v receiver, and sitting down for good quality entertainment. I still enjoy the articles and reviews you give me. Please keep doing a great job. I look forward to the next issue.
