      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    People are afraid to admit how great a part of life is dependant on luck. The day that Chris Wilton (Rhys Meyers) met Tom Hewett (Goode), his luck changed forever. And when Chris met Tom's sister Chloe (Mortimer), Chloe thought that she too was very lucky. However, after Chris was introduced to Tom's fiancee Nola (Johansson), the attraction between the two was undeniable, and Chris was willing to risk everything just to be with her. Nonetheless, he married Chloe, thinking he could forget about the now-out-of-the-picture Nola. But as luck would have it, Nola re-entered his life, complicating things even further, forcing Chris to make a final decision regarding his future. This is his "Match Point"

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits a pleasing color palette that is nicely balanced with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with well-balanced contrast and shadow delineation. At times, edge halos are evident, but there is no obtrusive pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    While the noise floor and overall fidelity is quite good in the Dolby

    Reason #109 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I think that the most important aspect of a technical publication is to be strict with the choice of content and contributing Editors. I feel well-informed by WSR, and the reading of my monthly issue helps me to appreciate the home theatre experience, especially with DVD reviews and the new equipment section. Widescreen Review is for everyone interested in a good home theatre movie experience!
