Training Day: Crossing the Line– This is more of the same and, for whatever reason, it’s been renamed from “First Look: The Making of Training Day.” It’s very well-made, but just has interviews with the cast and crew about what the movie is and how much Actor A loved working with Actor B and so on. While it’s nice to see it included, the movie itself will be more worth your time.

Antoine shot a stunning negative, but ironically our goal was to tone that down,” Eisenberg explained. “There’s an HDR moment that happens right at the capture stage, which gives us a better color fidelity, a wider range in the low lights, and wider range in the highlights, so we were starting from the best possible place to capture as much as we can out of the original.” Apart from the audio commentary from director Antoine Fuqua, all the bonus features reside only on the included Blu-ray disc.

On 4K Blu-ray, Training Day is a wonderful improvement over past Blu-ray and DVD editions. The sharpness level, enhanced by better contrast ratio and deeper color give this film a true cinematic quality that was lost on previous disc editions. Another scene that offered an opportunity to showcase the process was when Hawke’s character is about to be executed in a bathtub. It challenged even the colorist’s preconceptions.

I can't quite award Training Day Training Day's ensemble is arrestingly eclectic, mixing trendsetting musicianswith an assortment of talented character actors. Scott Glenn (Silence of the Lambs) plays a criminal who finds himself on the wrong end of Alonzo's brand of justice. Tom Berenger (Platoon) plays a high-ranking official with the rare ability to intimidate the relentless Alonzo. The situations escalate in intensity until Jake is put to the ultimate test of his moral compass in act three.

On 4K Blu-ray, Training Day’s cityscapes pop. This new 2160p HDR10 transfer offers plenty of detail, excellent contrast, and all the trimmings of the high-end format. Purists may balk at the cooler color tones, but it serves the film’s narrative well. This is a dark and moody film — cold, even. The saturated colors make L.A. even more distinct. Training Day": Crossing the Line (15:02) - The exact same mid-length featurette as "The Making of TrainingThat point is repeatedly underscored as Alonzo and Jake make their way through single day in Los Angeles, engaging in everything from a small-time drug bust of some college kids to venturing into a really bad part of the city where the residents know Alonzo is a cop but also have a certain amount of respect for him because he’s willing to get his hands dirty. Dynamic range is excellent, with very defined and tight low bass and mid-range, and clear, distinct Directed by Antoine Fuqua and scripted by David Ayer, Training Day endures as a savvy, gritty slice of hardboiled contemporary cinema. Here are the reasons why. But since this is Washington, it's not all about the raving speeches.
