      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Pulling off a two-million dollar heist and getting away with it is a lot easier if you don

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is very clear and crisp, with excellent sharpness and textures. Color saturation is rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, bold hues, and deep blacks. On occasion, fleshtones can appear somewhat ruddy. However, there is very little in the way of bothersome pixelization or edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #16 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read to try and find the best quality movies for sound and video. Too many movies these days have horrible sound and with today’s home theatres seem unacceptable. Also, equipment reviews are helpful.
