      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Oh, Edmond (Macy), what have you done? An innocent after-work stop at a fortune-teller sends his orderly world spinning out of control. Visiting bars, strip clubs, brothels, and all the sinister offerings the city has, along with all of the colorful characters, he finds violence he never imagined. Based on David Mamet

    DVD Picture:
    While colors can be richly saturated, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture has hazy glow to it that washes out the black levels. Minor edge enhancement can be distracting at times, although it really is only apparent on high-contrast edges. Still, details are well rendered, which is the standout of this release. Minor pixilation is noticeable at times, and source element artifacts are sputtered throughout. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The front stage in the Dolby

    Reason #63 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am an older guy who had not bought any A/V equipment for the last 14 years. I was really out of the loop as to what was happening. Did not even own a DVD player until now. This summer, my wife and I decided to build a small home theatre in our basement. Widescreen Review has been an invaluable research partner. The room was completed in mid September and now Widescreen Review can really show its stuff. The extensive DVD reviews are the final word for us when picking movies to watch. The news and equipment reviews keep us current, as we start down the never-ending path of upgrade-itis. Thanks for a great magazine.
