      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Dishonorably discharged Marine Colonel John Sykes leads a group of corrupt Marines on a vengeance-seeking act of Air Rage on Atlantic Airways Flight 777. Captain Matthew Marshall (Ice-T) is assigned to apprehend the hijackers and save the innocent passengers, before the orders are given to blow Flight 777 out of the sky. Fans of cheap thrills should be pleased, but those who prefer a good screenplay should read a book. Includes audio commentary, and cast and crew biographies. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits good image quality, with colors that are fully saturated and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, though some scenes are wanting in clarity. There is a bit of edge enhancement and occasional pixelization, but otherwise the picture is clean. The source element is occasionally revealing of film grain and artifacts (and is not limited to the stock footage used in the movie). (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
