      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    An incredible production with its visually stunning location filming on the spectacular Dolomite mountain range at an elevation of 13,000 feet above Cortina, Italy, this is a nerve-shuddering adventure peaked with terrorist suspense. Stallone plays a mountain rescue team member who is called upon to face off with a villainous crime lord, portrayed by Lithgow. This is one nonstop action thriller sure to leave you at the edge of your seat.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture quality delivers generally good quality with fully saturated colors that are inconsistent in naturalness. A reddish fleshtone problem exists. Sometimes images appear softly focused. Minor edge enhancement accentuates the horrible special effects.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #41 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I subscribed to WSR because I finished building my home theatre and no longer need to subscribe to magazines that give ideas on how to build a theatre. Widescreen Review focuses on the films I would like to see and the equipment I would like to upgrade. It is the next step to the home theatre experience.
