_**Great urban thriller**_

Ethan Hawke plays Hoyt, a rookie cop on his first 24-hour training day with the L.A.P.D. narcotics division. Denzel Washington plays veteran Alonzo Harris whose methods seem questionable, to say the least. Harris argues that one has to become a wolf to take down a wolf. Will Hoyt make it through the day alive, let alone uncorrupted?

“Training Day” had a lukewarm reception at the box office the first weekend of its release in 2001, but the profits steadily increased for the next six weeks as word-of-mouth spread. The greatness of “Training Day” is not simply due to the intriguing story and excellent writing, but also the superb casting. Hawke is perfect as the naive, but ambitious rookie and Washington is nothing short of stunning as Alonzo Harris, ranking with the best performances in cinematic history, like Jon Voight’s Manny in “Runaway Train” or Robert Duvall’s Col. Kilgore in “Apocalypse Now.”

As the training day continues Alonzo’s methodology becomes increasingly dubious and you can just imagine Hoyt responding, “I… don’t… see… any… method… at… all… Sir.” How can anyone withstand the temptations he faces and not give in (and I don’t mean the drugs)? Needless to say, the film scores high marks on the moral conundrum front.

There’s one obviously contrived element but that’s par for the course with movies and it could’ve been worse. Of course, the action and thrills are amped-up, but the tone is thankfully realistic.

BOTTOM LINE: “Training Day” is an excellent urban thriller with a captivating performance by Washington. It’s fittingly ugly, raw and brutal, so stay away if you don’t think you can stomach it.

The film runs 2 hours, 2 minutes, and was shot in L.A. Peripheral actors include Scott Glenn, Tom Berenger, Eva Mendes, Charlotte Ayanna, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.

GRADE: A-

Denzel Washington is sensational in this, the plot might not quite match his performance but ‘Training Day’ is still a great watch. It’s a riveting 122 minutes, I’m just not in love with how the premise is played out.

Washington’s character, Alonzo, never really changes throughout, despite a supposed problem of his. I kept waiting for a reason to change the opinion that the first act puts to you regarding him but it never came, there’s never a point I cared for him and I assume I was supposed to… at least to some degree? Also, his issue is thrown at you in one scene and isn’t really mentioned again until the end. I get the character, just not his arc.

Ethan Hawke is very good, too, in this, even if I kept hearing Tom Cruise when he spoke… You also have a load of now familiar faces involved, including Eva Mendes, Raymond Cruz, Cliff Curtis, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Terry Crews. Quite an interesting cast list, that.

Loved all of this, except the (still good) plot execution. Maybe that’s just me though. From what I’ve seen, Washington’s best performance so far. He’s the main takeaway from this whatever way you look at it.

Excellent film that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and blow you away
If you ask me, TRAINING DAY is an excellent film that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and blow you away. Harris (Denzel Washington) kind of gave me the creeps. You’ll understand why once you’ve seen this movie. In my opinion, the performances were top grade, the direction was superior, the costumes were perfectly designed, and the cast was perfectly chosen. Also, the soundtrack is really good, too. Before I wrap this up, I must warn you that this movie is very violent if you’re going to see it, so viewer discretion is strongly advised. Now, in conclusion, if you’re a fan of Denzel Washington or Ethan Hawke, I highly recommend this movie. It’s sure to keep you guessing from start to finish.

Training Day is a prime example of how just one scene can elevate a film to greatness.
You all know the scene I’m talking about. Alonzo’s monologue against the street that he thought would cooperate with him. That scene. Urgh, genius. A rookie narcotics officer is paired with a more experienced, albeit corrupt, detective for a day of training in the urban streets of Los Angeles. What looks like a semi-professional day on the job turns out to be a nightmare for the rookie. There are a ridiculous amount of positives, but unfortunately there are various negatives that prevents the police drama from being classed as a classic. At its core, this is a character study. A twisted, demented and self-assured detective who may have started out with the right intentions, but gradually becomes corrupted by the streets. The screenplay consistently reaffirms the idea that it is the environment that changes a person. Being adaptable under given scenarios. The depiction of the streets of Los Angeles and the black and white segregation is rather prominent throughout the film’s runtime. Yet it feels extremely real. It is the gritty and dark undertone embedded within the narrative that intrigues you and makes you invested in the characters. Speaking of our protagonist(s), Ethan Hawke was sublime as the naive rookie who just wants to help the world, one crime at a time. However, Denzel Washington just owns every scene in what I can only describe as his best performance. His acting was ferocious. Conveying confidence and fear simultaneously. David Ayer’s best script (although that’s not saying much…) and Antoine Fuqua’s best directorial effort. It’s just a shame the ending was unsatisfying with too many plot conveniences throughout. What were the chances that the girl they saved at the beginning was the cousin of a Sureño who was going to kill Jake!? Absurdly convenient. Then later we get the craziest overkill of the decade. Bullets galore. Alas, I do find this to be a gripping police drama and Washington’s best performance. That’s enough for me to highly recommend this.
