    the only bad movie denzel has ever made, ironic that he won his best actor oscar for his worst movie

    Training Day is famous for giving Denzel Washington a chance to be the bad guy, and all of the buzz about his award-winning performance was well deserved. A movie that basically centers on two people over the course of one day has to have strong performances from its stars, and W...( read more)ashington and Ethan Hawke both rise to the occasion.

    The ending was a little trite and convenient (with a coincidence that asked for an incredible suspension of disbelief), but the rest of the movie was pretty good. Training Day raised a lot of questions about how much evil could be done to achieve the greater good, and whether it's acceptable to compromise your own morals, for an important cause. Those themes may not be completely new territory for crime dramas, but they are still worthwhile, when done well.

    One of my favourite performances from Denzel Washington and a great corrupt undercover police story.

    What a first Day!!! I really like the fact this all happened during one day, it added a realistc feel to it and a view to the escalating circumstances, whilst the characters ...( read more)grow throughout.

    Not bad. Washington is great but Hawke is annoying. Turn off before switching on!

    I've never heard the word "fuck" so many times in all my life. It was a gritty, realistic movie about what it must be like to work in narcotics.

    the basic plot idea is a tried-and-true cop drama, but the film itself is on a whole other level of performance. Denzel is absolutely amazing, making even the so-so performance from Hawke look good. the element of realism seemed both obviously cinematic and crushingly true at t...( read more)he same time, to a point where a story like this could very easily happen but we choose to pretend it couldn't. a great examination of justice and morality and a solidly entertaining film.

    denzel washington as a bad guy was messed up. its really one of those movies that you are just supposed to accept as a ridiculously cool movie but it is actually pretty good. it just annoys me when people like a thing just because it's really popular and they can't explain why th...( read more)ey like it...i'm not sure why that is

    How any decent man could become a police officer is beyond me. You would have to be some kind of strong to put up with corruption on both sides of the line. Having dealt with twisted cops and having an uncle who is a (good) cop, I can attest to this kind of thing being real. A...( read more)nd it freaks the hell out of me. Anyways, a good movie and a frightening look into America's dark side. Denzel Washington plays one of the most convincing, larger-than-life villains I've seen in awhile. Evil from the very first moment he's on screen, the complexities of his villainy are played subtle in favor of pure terror. I had to keep reminding myself that he seems like such a nice guy in real life, Oscar well-deserved.
