      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 #57 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the ONLY magazine, let alone A/V magazine I read. The insightful information about current and impending technological advancements allow me to make appropriate decisions about equipment purchases. WSR gives me the straight goods on which equipment to buy for current AND future use!
