      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Together since they were hitmen-in-training, The Crew (Dreyfuss, Reynolds, Hedaya and Cassel), have worked as a team...gleefully intimidating business owners, fitting a deadbeat gambler for cement overshoes, or knocking off a few rival mobsters. But enough of the good-old-days. Now, these golden-oldie gangsters are kicking back at their Miami Beach hotel...the Raj Mahal. That is, until they are faced with eviction and decide to orchestrate one last hit in order to save their ocean views. (Laurie Sevano)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture, with colors that are rich and vibrant, with natural fleshtones, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered depth and clarity. Though the picture can have a slightly dark character, contrast and shadow delineation are satisfactory throughout. There is no distracting edge enhancement or pixelization, for a picture that is clean and solid throughout. (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!
