    Inspired by true events, "Profile" follows an undercover British journalist on her quest to bait and expose a terrorist recruiter through social media, while trying not to get sucked in by her recruiter and lured into becoming a militant extremist herself. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include a Movies Anywhere digital code.

    The 1.85:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture is focused on computer screen shots including backgrounds, icons, and windows. The imagery is sharp. Some video clips and Skype segments, however, are heavily compressed. Colors are limited to video screens and are less dynamic on the video calls. Overall, the picture has limited visual appeal, exhibiting screen shots of poor quality. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack contains lots of mouse clicks and keyboard strokes, as well as computer bleeps and bloops tagged to messages. Occasional directionality in the surrounds can be heard, such as Amy's barking dog. There is also an explosion sound effect. The main sound element is dialogue, which while intelligible, is generally of poor quality. Overall, not a captivating soundtrack. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #129 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I enjoy the in-depth look at industry trends, informative and intelligent articles on emerging technologies, and of course, the new products in the Coming Soon…section. I like the fact that your magazine is not jammed packed with manufacturer’s marketing and sales ads. I understand having some but not as many as your competitor (HTM). I enjoy the movie reviews, which I found to be much more accurate than others (HTM). And lastly, I am a fellow Hungarian like Gary, heck we even share the same fascination for high-tech gadgets. I stopped by the booth at CES, unfortunately I missed him each time. Keep up the good work.
