      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Kiss Of The Dragon features martial arts superstar Jet Li as China

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is quite pleasing, with images that are sharp and nicely detailed. Colors are stylized at times, but are otherwise balanced, with full saturation and deep blacks. There are occasional black-and-white shots that serve as flashbacks. At times, the picture appears slightly smeared or undefined. Edge enhancement is detected, and there is occasional shimmering, but otherwise the picture is clean and solid. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #8 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review summarizes the information I need to make informed decisions about DVD purchases. My DVD library is growing by leaps and bounds, and it's great to have WSR let me know when I may be disappointed with a disc before I buy it. I also like the new DVD release list to let me know what's ahead. On top of that, reading WSR is a great way to keep abreast of new technologies. Sometimes the interviews with those who bring these technologies to market give more insight into the overall demands and future directions of the market.
