      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Stephen Baldwin is Vic Cooper, a government agent who goes undercover to ferret out a couple of adrenaline junkies who have made skydiving

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits pleasing colors that are nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, though some scenes seem slightly flat and wanting in depth and definition. Contrast is nicely rendered, and the darker scenes exhibit good shadow delineation. The appearance of edge enhancement is infrequent. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
