      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When his London architecture firm is broken into not only once, but twice, Will (Law) begins late night surveillance in an attempt to catch the thieves. Well, the third time proves to be a charm, and he thwarts the young burglar

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD exhibits well-balanced contrast and a smooth appearance that, while not as highly detailed as on the best releases, does provide a level of realism. Fleshtones look healthy, and colors are saturated nicely. Minor edge enhancement is noticeable throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #40 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love your magazine and am a subscriber! In order of priority, I read Widescreen in order to: 1) Read about home theatre equipment technology that is on the cutting edge. To see where the industry is going, so that I can make informed buying decisions. As an example, when I saw that the DVD Forum Adopts HD-DVD Format (Feb 04), so(delete) I canceled my plans to buy a recordable DVD player, as I can see High Def DVD players are just around the corner. For the same reason, I am also limiting my purchase of movies on regular DVD as well. 2) Read DVD movie reviews, so that I can see whether a DVD is worth buying or not. If a movie receives poor Widescreen ratings on Picture and/or Sound, I probably will not buy the DVD. Rounders is one of my favorite movies, but I refuse to purchase it based on your poor ratings. 3) Home theatre configuration advice. Thanks and keep up the great work.
