      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Once the best marksman in the United States Army, Bob Lee Swagger (Wahlberg) now lives in peaceful seclusion after the death of his partner. But tires heard on the dirt road, and a few high-profile government officials, bring him back to reality, seeking his help to stop an assassin determined to terminate the President. Reluctantly, he agrees, yet soon finds himself double-crossed by the government he once protected. Shooter is based on Stephen Hunter

    DVD Picture:
    With solid shadow delineation and good black levels, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD can have a pleasingly natural look, but details are not resolved as well as on better releases, making many scenes look rather soft. The color palette is limited, and contrast can be a little hot, with whites that can reach blooming. Edge enhancement is minor but still noticeable. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #42 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the reviews and the number rating system you use. Usually your reviews are right on key with how I see the disc also. The magazine also caries useful information about Digital Video Essentials, which I also own, and use often.
