      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD picture looks virtually identical to the previous DVD. The additional footage is seamlessly added into this anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD, which exhibits a stylized picture with a color palette that helps to visually depict an African setting (shot in Hawaii). Hues can have sultry saturation, with warm golds, lush greens, and bold blood reds that pop from an injured patient. Blacks are especially deep and solid. Images are sharp and nicely defined, with satisfying textures and perfectly detailed stubble on Bruce Willis

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
