  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Tom Selleck stars as Presidential candidate James Pryce in the TV movie

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is quite pleasing throughout. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered shadow delineation. Some scenes are a little hazy with mediocre contrast, but mostly the picture is nicely rendered. Colors are well balanced with natural fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Minor source element artifacts are scattered throughout, but there are no major distractions in the way of pixelization or edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
