Denzel excels - Training Day review by JD
A well deserved award for best actor. Denzel and Ethan give mesmerising performances. The film has a good flow to it an almost imperceptible increase in tempo and intensity through to the finale. Some of the plot is not well explained. I had to rewind and put sub-titles on a few times to understand the patois. Even then significant exchanges were incomprehensible. Towards the end the violence was generally gratuitous and not particularly gripping. Overall though I thought it was a good idea and liked most of it.

Topnotch Modern Cop Thriller - Training Day review by GI
A career defining performance from Denzel Washington, which actually seeds more nuance and complexity every time you watch this gritty cop thriller. It's part psychological thriller, part character study and a sharp condemnation of the American law enforcement system riddled with corruption. Ethan Hawke costars as Jake, a rookie LA narcotics detective who has been selected to join an elite unit led by Detective Alonzo Harris (Washington). Jake is very honoured to be a part of his team and the film's plot follows Jake's first day as he's introduced to Alonzo's methods. They begin gently enough building to pushing Jake into more and more uncomfortable scenarios with him being unable to assess if he's just being tested. He eventually discovers that Alonzo has a malicious agenda. Brilliantly scripted and directed this remains the quintessential modern police thriller, it redefines the American cop as anti-hero. A superb film and a must see.
