    Good police drama with a rookie narcotics cop experiencing rules on the street as his training officer promotes certain illegal activities.

    ending was anti climactic.. he shoulda gone back and killed everyone who was involved in a rage to the beat of wicked music.

    I saw just half of it, and didn't liked it very much. Maybe I should have watched it a bit more. The main reason I started watching was Hawke and Washington anyway.

    Training Day was the movie that earned Denzel Washington a well-deserved Oscar and introduced us to a different side of the beloved actor. Training Day spawned such famous quotes as, "King Kong ain't got shit on me!!" and openend the door to Denzel for such roles as Frank Lucas, a Harlem druglord in "American Gangster".Other than Denzel's performance this film is good. Denzel's antics kept me entertained and there was good dialogue as well. Ethan Hawke had one of his best performance as an innocent rookie cop who could never imagine the events unfolding during his training day and their outcomes.

    One-Sentence Review:

    "Training Day throws the rules out of the window and hits you in the face with a brutal and highly entertaining story of good cop/bad cop as we are taken on an urban trip of one day on the job for rookie narcotics officer Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) and his training officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) and When Harris begins to cross the line, Jake finds himself willing to look the other way"

    (Denzel deserves his Oscar.)

    Just fantastic. Denzel deserved the Oscar for this one. A tale of corruption vs loyalty finds the mark and kept my interest all the way through.

    Denzel is one sick MoFo in this movie. The tension is established in the first five minutes and doesn't relent for the next two hours.

    Denzel Washington spends the entire movie acting like Samuel.L Jackson. NOT worthy of the critical acclaim but entertaining

    El guion, direccion y ejecucion esta bien, pero provablemente lo mejor de la pelicula son las actuaciones, Ethan Hawke esta muy bien, igual que Denzel Washington, pero no voy a decir que es la mejor actuacion de Denzel, ni que sea una revelacion, el es un muy buen actor, no me malinterpreten, pero la verdad es que el personaje esta escrito muy bien, y eso ya le daba a Denzel mas del 50% del trabajo ya hecho, pero el le agrega cierta magia pero no una muy extraordinaria, la escena final es muy buena y provablemente esta fue la que le valio los elogios que recibio, pero no creo que sea una de las mejores actuaciones de la decada, ni la mejor de ese año, eso no quiere decir que este mal, esta muy bien, pero tampoco excelente 7.5/10.-

    I missed the boat on this one. I have no idea why this would be a good movie. The fact that I can't stand to watch Ethan Hawke in anything doesn't help either.

    Denzel Washington is great and rather scary in his role. He fully deserved the oscar he won for the part he played. Macy Gray is awsome too. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie.

    I loved it. I don't think WAshington deserved an Oscar but he was very good. Hawke was vastly underrated.

    I really wasn't expecting much from this movie. I thought it looked like a generic good cop / bad cop flick about taking it to the streets, like a crappy Miami Vice. Fortunately, I was very wrong.

    The film follows Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) as he auditions for a spot in the LAPD Narcotics unit led by Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). The entire film takes place over the course of one day as Hoyt tries to come to grips with the way a narc works and what kind of things he must be prepared to do if he gets accepted into this prestigious group. Ultimately, Hoyt has trouble doing this, but Harris has faith that the rookie can eventually lead the group should he retire. What separated this movie from other "buddy cop" flicks was that it didn't fall into the usual dry plot of hunting the dirty criminal. The movie really made you question who the criminals really were. What do you do when the line between good and evil is blurred or non-existent?

    Training Day is a truly great film. Upon it's completion, I looked back on it and realized that there wasn't an ounce of fat on the picture. Every piece of dialogue, every scene, every cut was needed and came into play when everything wrapped up at the end. Everything worked together to tell the story and to develop the characters in the span of one day. I think that's such a rare occurrence in recent movies. Many movies have scenes that drag and sort of take you out of the movie. Training Day didn't do this though. Each scene worked to establish the movie and the characters. Overall, very enjoying film.

    This movie mark a change in Mr Washington. The roles that he played in the past was always the good person and never the bad. Denzel Washington did a very good job !_! It is a must see movie.
