      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While investigating a number of murders in Manhattan, Detective Mike Reilly (Dorff) discovers that the victims have one thing in common

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits an appropriately dark picture that should be viewed in a completely blackened room to fully appreciate the visual information in the darkest scenes. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, though some shots can have a hazy appearance. Colors are nicely rendered with well-balanced fleshtones, but the picture also has a cold, bluish tinge to enhance the chilling feel of the story. As the movie reaches its climax, nearly all color is removed for stark, dramatically frightening visuals. There is minimal edge enhancement, and only occasional pixelization apparent. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #46 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is a great source of knowledge for me, to help me know more about the hardware and how it operates. I get the kind of information I need to upgrade or tweak my system as best I can. I also value the reviews of DVDs that help me make purchasing decisions.
