      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gordy Brewer (Schwarzenegger) is a peace-loving Los Angeles firefighter whose wife and son are killed in a terrorist bombing meant for FBI counterterrorist agent Peter Brandt (Koteas). After hearing his family

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. The color scheme is well balanced, with natural fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Filters are used, on occasion, to create atmospheric differences between scenes and locations. There are traces of edge enhancement noticed, as well as pixelization, but nothing that is too terribly distracting. Overall, the picture provides a satisfying visual experience. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and havent missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but its turned into so much more. Its to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
