      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Jacket erroneously indicates film is presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

    Story Synopsis:
    Based on Elmore Leonard

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits rich colors that sometimes appear a bit oversaturated. That said, these bold hues are well balanced with deep blacks.

    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs. Thanks to your publication, most of my video library is letterboxed. I am now prepared for my dream HDTV. Thanks for the information that allows me to prepare for the future!
