Women in Trouble(2009)
One day in the lives of ten seemingly disparate women -- including a porn star, a flight attendant, a psychiatrist, a masseuse, a bartender and a pair of call girls -- all with one thing in common: trouble. Elektra Luxx is a world-famous porn star whose future is thrown for a loop with the news that she's pregnant. Holly Rocket is a not-too-bright adult industry newcomer with an inconvenient aversion to girl-girl action. Their paths intersect with, among others, a hilariously suave British Rock Star, a bright neurotic with a dark past and a call girl with a tricky client For more about Women in Trouble and the Women in Trouble Blu-ray release, see the Women in Trouble Blu-ray Review Starring: Elizabeth Berkley, Connie Britton, Josh Brolin, Carla Gugino, Xander Berkeley Director: Sebastian Gutierrez Women in Trouble Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in 1080p utilizing the AVC codec (at an average bitrate of 23Mbps), Women in Trouble sports a fairly dismal visual presentation. Fine object detail ranks well below the level we've grown accustomed to on Blu-ray, with a large number of shots appearing only slightly better than the quality of an up-scaled DVD. Even in extreme facial close-ups, the texturing on the surface of skin is completely lacking, as if covered by a veil of haze. Colors don't fare much better, incorporating a palette that rarely transcends the drab hues of various indoor settings. Skin tones vary from overly red to sickly yellow, affording the spectrum an unnatural palette that never appears enticing. Regarding black level depth, the transfer remains entirely inconsistent from scene to scene, leaving contrast unable to effectively differentiate between subtle shade transitions in the foreground and background. Despite the appearance of several well-defined shots, the majority of the film is a visual disappointment in every category. Go in with low expectations, and you'll find it much easier to stomach. Women in Trouble Blu-ray, Audio QualityDespite the upgrade to lossless compression, Women in Trouble remains incapable of transcending its low budget roots. Dialogue is the driving force behind the mix, resulting in shallow use of the rear sound stage, and planting the majority of the audio spectrum within the confines of the front channels. Given the nature of the film this wouldn't be a major problem, but inconsistent volume levels coupled with muddled line delivery present further problems. Listening to the women deliver their monologues on various issues in their tragic past becomes rather difficult when you're forced to constantly adjust the volume on your receiver. To make the situation worse, director Sabastian Gutierrez tosses in several outrageously loud flashback sequences that deliver loud noises with a blur of images. After turning up the volume to a point where I could understand 99% of the dialog, I found those sudden flashbacks shockingly loud. All of these issues where likely present in the original theatrical presentation (given the low-budget photography and cheap sound design), but they don't make for a rousing improvement in the transition to a lossless offering.
