Training Day

USA 2001, 118 minutes
Dir. Antoine Fuqua
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Policier

Feat. Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Snoop Dogg, Scott Glenn, Tom Berenger

Aroview: Denzel Washington luxuriates in an Oscar-winning performance as a slimeball LA cop, who casually metes out brutal street-justice at every opportunity.

His assignment for the day is to harden up narcotics-squad rookie Ethan Hawke by leading him through a series of treacherous, strictly illegal ‘training experiences’ (such as smoking PCP).

4 stars (Very Good) A very well put together tale of crooked cops and honourable street thugs, with Denzel stealing the show as Detective Alonzo Harris, and Hawke playing a convincing rookie. ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) Denzel is very good as per usual and Ethan does well to keep on his coat tails. The story/character relationship is at its strongest in the early scenes but weakens somewhat as the day gets longer. ~Tubbs
