      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Fathom Harvill (Welch) is an American skydiver touring Europe when she's approached by a secret agent (Fraser) asking for her help in locating a nuclear weapons detonator. But when Fathom discovers that she's been duped, this sexy spy must turn the tables on her employer. Based on a novel by Larry Forrester. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is fairly pleasing for the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo soundtrack is a substantially dated recording, affecting fidelity and exhibiting distortion. The stereophonic presence of the audio is feeble. (An English mono soundtrack is also included.) (Perry Sun)

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
