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.Running Time: 120 min.System Requirements:Starring: Ethan Hawke Denzel Washington Cliff Curtis Snoop Dogg Dr. Dre and Scott Glenn. Directed By: Antoine Fuqua. Running Time: 122 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2002 Warner Home Video.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 085392196227 Manufacturer No: 21962DVD Amazon.com essential video: 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 Amazon.com: 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.

 Rating: - It Was Okay, Maybe A Bit Better, Maybe A Bit WorseI was torn about this movie for one fact - I really like Denzel Washington as an actor and if I see his name associated with a movie I will see it because I expect good things from him. And with the hype about this movie when it came out, I walked away from the theater a bit unsatisfied. When he received an Oscar for this role (as oppossed to some other movies) I felt the same way the I did when Russell Crowe received one for Gladiator and not A Beautiful Mind. But that seems to happen ... Read More Rating:  - What was the hype?I finally sat down and watched this film and was left with a feeling of "ok?" Denzel Washington does a great job in his role. He is fun to watch as he took Jake Hoyt(Hawke) through a day on the streets of LA to see if he will fit in his Narcotics unit. Washington does a good job playing an amoral character as he toys to with Jake to see how far he will go into the dark side and make amoral choices. Times I was wondering if Alonzo is simply evil or a master of the mind screw ... Read More Rating:  - HIGHLY ENTERTAINING GRITTY POLICE DRAMA! 4 1/2 STARS!'Training Day' is a dark and gritty crime drama that tells a different side of the men in blue. Denzel Washington takes a 180 and plays one vicious and dirty cop who shows a new recruit on his first day as a special teams narcotics officer how his brand of justice works! The film is slick, well paced, full of action and has a plausible storyline. It goes a little Hollywood towards the end, but it's still an very entertaining movie. The film has an early small role featuring Eva Mendes in her birthday suit, ... Read More Rating: - Can it get more gritty?Great story, Denzel Washington plays great and so does Ethan Hawke. Too much language in it though, its not needed. Rating: - Outstanding corrupt cop dramaThe ending was a bit of overkill. That could be said. And the mano-a-mano fight before the ending was a bit drawn out. That too could be said. But the rest of the film was more than excellent. "Training Day" is the best of the bad cop dramas that I have seen, and I've seen a few. Both Denzel Washington as the psychopathic bad cop, Alonzo, and Ethan Hawke as the idealistic rookie, Jake, were full out. Denzel Washington won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance, and Ethan Hawke was nominated ... Read More |
