      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In the 141-year history of the United States Secret Service, there has never been a traitor

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2:40:1 DVD picture can look good, but it is pretty rare. Flesh tones are accurate, looking healthy in outdoor scenes and pallid when under fluorescent lighting. The source element is very clean. There are scenes that can look terrible, with heavy pixel breakup and noticeable MPEG-2 artifacts. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
