      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While Ted Crawford (Hopkins) is hard at work to provide a lavish lifestyle for his wife (Davidtz), she is off at a ritzy hotel, sunning, swimming, and having sex with a mysterious man. Not too pleased with his wife

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD relies on warm tones of brown and green and slightly over-pumped whites, which can bloom at times. Fleshtones are slightly pasty and blocked up, and fine detail is not captured as well as on the best releases. Black levels are adequate, but less than perfect shadow delineation can make some of the dark scenes look flat and lifeless. Edge enhancement is noticeable, but pixilation is relatively minor. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
