Movie Reviews of Training Day [HD DVD]
Movie Review: "King Kong Ain't Got Nothing on Me"!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say in this short review that has't already been said better by others on the merits of Denzel Washington's performance in this movie? This was one of those rare Academy Award Wins that was actually deserved. That being said, let's discuss the HD version specifically.
To begin with the most important feature, the video transfer; absolutely outstanding! The level of detail on the car interior, Denzels leather jacket, textures and depth give a real 3d sense to the transfer! I give this one VERY high marks visually. I've used this one as a demo disc for a few non HD savvy friends that are not sci-fi fans ( non Transformer or Matrix people)that wanted to see something a bit more reality based and they all were suitably impressed.
The Audio... heck it comes with a TrueHD mix; game over! It sounds great. The bonus features have a few very interesting cut scenes that give a bit more insight into Alonzo's character ( I DO wish they were in better quality). The directors commentary was pretty good also.
All in All, I have to give this HD high marks, I highly recommend it over the BLU Ray version but don't take my word for it http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/trainingday.html . With Warner going over to Blu exclusively I suggest those that have both formats go "red" on this one.
Summary of Training Day [HD DVD]
Working undercover is a job. And an attitude. A mad dog narco cop blurs the line between cop and criminal as he mentors an idealistic rookie partner during his Training Day.A powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington fuels this brutal urban police drama, in which a rookie narcotics cop learns the hard way that even good cops can go very, very bad. Washington plays veteran detective Alonzo Harris, a self-proclaimed "wolf among wolves," eager to teach his rookie partner Jake (Ethan Hawke) that normal rules don't apply on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Caught in a web of deception, Jake watches with escalating horror as Alonzo uses his badge (and the support of his superiors) to justify a self-righteous policy of corruption. In stark contrast to most of his previous work, Denzel unleashes his dark side with fearlessness and fury, and the result is excellence without compromise. Director Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers) won't score any points for subtlety, but gritty details (including actual L.A. gang members as extras) and Hawke's finely tuned performance are perfectly matched to Washington's frightening volatility. --Jeff Shannon
