      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Lt. Shane Wolfe (Diesel) is put on assignment to protect the widowed Plummer family

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing quality throughout. Images are sharp and detailed, with well-balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are nicely balanced, with vibrant hues, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Very rarely does the picture have a smeared appearance, and distractions in the way of edge enhancement and pixelization are also quite limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #47 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Perry and Gary are the biggest reasons that I read WIDESCREEN REVIEW! Perry’s expertise goes way back to the movie sound page days. He has always given honest and straightforward information on home theatre. Gary goes way back to the days of stereo and quad and his knowledge and way of writing are as top notch as you will ever find!
