  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Tina (Pressly), Kasumi (Aoki), Christie (Valance), and Helena (Carter)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD exhibits an inconsistent picture, at times looking solid and detailed, while at others looking soft and washed out. Colors are bold and vibrant, but the entire image has a subtly greenish tint. Compression artifacts can also be seen on occasion, but edge enhancement is minor enough to not be a big problem for most of the presentation. (Danny Richelieu)
