      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    If there ever was a movie done in bad taste

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced and windowboxed 1.66:1 DVD picture, shot in 16mm, has a gritty appearance, but images can be generally sharp. Some scenes are extremely soft and undefined. With a slightly dated quality, colors are generally well balanced. The shaky camerawork might make viewers with larger home theatre displays a little queasy. The source element is revealing of an expected amount of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered 5.1-channel soundtracks in DTS-ES

    Reason #30 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because of the honest reviews on home theatre components and the great one-on-one interviews. I subscribe to several home theatre magazines, but hands down Widescreen Review is always a must-read every month, and for that I thank you.
