      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Gabriel Noone

    DVD Picture:
    The cool overtones of the anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD picture highlight the dreary storytelling well. Blacks are deep and shadow delineation is good, but contrast balance is slightly too dark. Details are relatively well defined, and edge enhancement is not really a problem. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it. In an industry where the subjective is usually described in the most arcane manner possible (to the exclusion of the unwashed masses), WSR's clear and objective-as-you-can-get reviews give me the information I need to make purchasing decisions confidently.
