      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    It was the summer of 1958 and the Deuces were a street gang that ran their Brooklyn neighborhood. Leon (Dorff) and Bobby (Renfro), the gang

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is bright, with colors that can pop from the screen. The picture has a warm character that brings life to the setting of the film. Fleshtones are accurately rendered and blacks are deep. Images are sharp and nicely detailed. Pixelization is noticed occasionally, but edge enhancement is rarely a problem. (Suzanne Hodges) Also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel Dolby

    Reason #104 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I trust it, and more importantly it is a trust, which has been earned. Reading Widescreen Review is still the best way for me to keep abreast of new products and emerging technologies, and it has heightened my senses and enhanced my appreciation of my own home theatre. Thanks to Widescreen Review, I have been able to make informed purchases, improve the performance of my equipment, and keep it looking and sounding its best. Reading Widescreen Review has changed my life for the better. Were it not for Widescreen Review introducing me to filming techniques; video transferring, production and playback; widescreen TV technologies; and audio production and playback, I probably would not have gone on to study these technologies to the degree that I have.
