      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Upstanding investment banker Daryl Chase (Jones) finds himself relying on loudmouthed scam artist Freddy Tiffany (Griffin) to bail him out of some deep trouble. After the two switch identities and head for the border, Chase soon realizes that Tiffany is more wanted than he is. No one is who he seems in Double Take, which outrageously twists and turns to the very end. Includes up-front ads, audio commentary, the director

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a sharp and detailed picture with excellent contrast and shadow detail. The color scheme is richly saturated and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, bold hues, and endless blacks. Unfortunately, edge enhancement can distract from the otherwise very nicely rendered images, giving the picture a hard edge. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #56 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am most interested in the formats (audio) of DVDs. I buy a DVD, and then it is re-introduced in a deluxe package some time later. I am not that interested in the extras, but the DVD is invariably upgraded in sound. This is usually DTS ES surround but in some cases DTS ES 6.1 (discrete). Most reviews (Home Theater, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Sound And Vision) do not address this situation. I am subscribing to Widescreen Review, hopefully, to solve this problem. I am looking forward to my first issue and a long relationship with your magazine.
