Training Day

 (2001)

Crime | Drama | Thriller



Jake Hoyt is tired of his quiet beat in a calm and serene suburb of Los Angeles. With the need for a challenge, he gets himself re-assigned to the narcotics division of the LAPD which enforces some of the cities grittiest areas. The catch is he has only one day to prove himself worthy of this world of undercover police investigation. His trainer is Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris, a 13-year narcotics veteran who has long since blurred the line between legality and corruption. With Harris as his guide, Hoyt will be pulled ever deeper into the ethical mire of Alonzo's logic as the two risk life and career to serve their conflicting notions of justice.

Training Day Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Presented in 1080p high definition on Blu-ray, Training Day looks very good, but doesn't rank among the best on the format. This 2.40:1 filmed image arrives encoded in MPEG-2 and as an early Blu-ray release, assessing this image proves slightly more difficult than normal. Many newer transfers that take advantage of AVC or VC-1 codecs look much better than what we have here, but taking into account the age of the disc, its status as an early release, and the MPEG-2 codec, this one still ranks fairly high overall. It certainly looks good and clearly benefits from the increased resolution compared to my worn DVD copy that I can now view upconverted to 1080p. The increase in quality is high, but definitely not astronomical. The image is truer to life on Blu-ray with more depth, clarity, and detail than the DVD release. Colors are more vibrant and there is more of a lifelike look and feel to the film in high definition. The Blu-ray edition is mostly free of grain and the print is spotless with nary a speck of dirt, hair, scratch, or pop. Daylight scenes fare the best, presenting high detail and depth to the image. In contrast, the indoor scenes, particularly those taking place inside Roger's dark and dreary house, fare the worst. A bit of wavering and slightly less than perfect blacks are the only real blemishes on this disc. Still, while a clear upgrade from the DVD, Training Day slightly falters in comparison to its Blu-ray contemporaries.


Training Day Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Like the majority of Warner's current Blu-ray titles, Training Day appears on Blu-ray with a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. Despite the lack of a lossless option, this is one of the better "standard definition" soundtracks I've heard on Blu-ray. The fine score by Mark Mancina is pleasing to the ear and fills the room with a harmony that is never overshadowed by the urban beats that permeate parts of the film. They are presented with clean, deep, and vigorous low frequencies that embody the style of the music, culture, and attitude of the street. Bass is present in the action as well, pounding with authority as shotgun blasts explode with hard hitting, chest pounding presence. A shoot out near the end of the film, beginning in chapter 23, is particularly impressive. While not as awe-inspiring as the gunfire in 3:10 to Yuma, it’s powerful, loud, clear, and immersive. Dialogue flows freely from the center channel, delivering fine, naturalistic tones. Surround channels are used here and there, sometimes practically nonexistent while at other times they're as active and alive as my six month old hell-raising kitten. Mostly used during action, the rear soundstage is nevertheless present with mostly fine ambiance but there is a noticeable lack of activity when they shut down, clearly to the detriment of the film's feel of total immersion in the world of inner-city narcotics. Overall, this is a decent track that would have benefited from a lossless encode and a slightly better sound design.
