      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Spending his youth on the gritty streets of New York

    DVD Picture:
    Blacks are deep in the anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD, but below-average shadow delineation hides all of the detail in the darker scenes. The image can look slightly soft, but there are scenes that show good resolution. The hot color scheme that is used in the flashback scenes is held well, matching the period depicted. Fleshtones have an orangish tone that can make them look unnatural, and the source element has dirt and artifacts that can be noticed at times, but this is a good image. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
