      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Pedro Almod

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.38:1 DVD picture (with occasional scenes pillarboxed at 2.00:1) exhibits rich colors that are nicely saturated and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, though some scenes appear to be slightly lacking in fine textures. There is little in the way of bothersome edge enhancement, but pixelization is occasionally noticed. (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.
