  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
The other Gladiator movie. This one stars James Marshall as Tommy Riley, a young Golden Gloves boxing champ who hooks up with Jimmy Horn (Dennehy), a corrupt promoter and his flunky (Loggia), to make some quick money to pay off his dad

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture, with sharp and detailed images and a solid appearance throughout. Colors are nicely balanced, with natural fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Though the picture can be a little dim, contrast and shadow delineation are well rendered. A few artifacts are noticed, as well as minor pixelization and edge enhancement. Nonetheless, the picture is quite pleasing.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
