    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    LaserDisc Picture:
    The 1.85:1 picture is sharp and detailed with nicely rendered definition. Colors are stylized, but balanced with a warm overall appearance. The brighter exterior scenes often appear oversaturated and smeared, but with this film often taking place at night, the picture is generally pleasing throughout.

    LaserDisc Soundtrack:
    The Dolby® Surround soundtrack is quite spatially dimensional with an aggressive surround presence, but fidelity is excessively bright and strident. The music is especially expansive. Bass impact is wanting during intense full scale SPL sequences and daunts the dynamic intent of the scene. Dialogue is mono directed though generally natural sounding and spatially integrated.
