      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Tonya Neely (Davis) is on a mission

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a bold color scheme with well-balanced contrast and deep blacks. Shadow delineation is well rendered, and details are adequately well resolved. Fleshtones are slightly too rosy, and noticeable edge enhancement can distract, especially in medium and long shots. Otherwise, this is a very good picture. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #98 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read this magazine from the very first issue; it’s simply the best and most informative and detailed magazine for home theatre. You can't live without it.
