      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Poor Trixie Zurbo (Watson), she wants to be assigned a real case at her job as a security guard. She wants to be a detective. But her talent for butchering the English language makes her seem way less than capable. Finally, her bosses shunt her off to a small-town resort casino in search of pickpockets. After falling for local bad boy Dex Lang (Mulroney), Trixie suddenly finds herself sleuthing to her heart

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is generally pleasing, though images are slightly soft, appearing smeared. Colors are rich and nicely balanced with natural fleshtones and generally deep blacks. The picture seems to be slightly dark, so viewing in a completely blackened room is recommended. With that in mind, the darker scenes are wanting in shadow delineation, appearing undefined and pasty. Fine details shimmer on occasion. Some pixelization is noticed, as is minor edge enhancement. This is a picture that has the potential to look better with improvements in contrast and sharpness. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
