Editorial Review: Description: Working undercover is a job. And an attitude. A mad dog narco cop blurs the line between cop and criminal as he mentors an idealistic rookie partner during his Training Day. DVD Features: Alternate endings Audio Commentary:Feature Length Commentary by director Antoine Fuqua DVD ROM Features:Link to the original theatrical web site and other locations Log in to future events Deleted Scenes Documentary:Behind-the-Scenes Documentary Filmographies:Cast and Crew Film Highlights Music Video:2 Music Videos: - Nelly's #1 - Pharoahe Monch's Got You Theatrical Trailer Amazon.com essential video: A powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington fuels this brutal urban police drama, in which a rookie narcotics cop learns the hard way that even good cops can go very, very bad. Washington plays veteran detective Alonzo Harris, a self-proclaimed "wolf among wolves," eager to teach his rookie partner Jake (Ethan Hawke) that normal rules don't apply on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Caught in a web of deception, Jake watches with escalating horror as Alonzo uses his badge (and the support of his superiors) to justify a self-righteous policy of corruption. In stark contrast to most of his previous work, Denzel unleashes his dark side with fearlessness and fury, and the result is excellence without compromise. Director Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers) won't score any points for subtlety, but gritty details (including actual L.A. gang members as extras) and Hawke's finely tuned performance are perfectly matched to Washington's frightening volatility. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com: A powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington fuels this brutal urban police drama, in which a rookie narcotics cop learns the hard way that even good cops can go very, very bad.

 Rating:  - 2.5 stars out of 4The Bottom Line: Though it's refreshing to see Denzel Washington play someone who isn't a saint, his character is evil just because the screenplay demands it, not because of any intrinsic reason; as a consequence, the movie never manages to be about anything but itself. Rating: - Training Day is awesomeI can say that the film has no flaws. Also Ethan Hawke's characters is not subdued, in fact, Hawke's character (Jake Hoyt) while being sensitive and moral, is at the same intense level as Denzel Washington's. You can't write a review, without describing the plot. The story is very real and vivid. It concerns a rookie cop named Jake Hoyt (Hawke) who is assigned to a veteran narcotics cop named Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). During hia first few days ...

And with the hype about this movie when it came out, I walked away from the theater a bit unsatisfied. When he received an Oscar for this role (as oppossed to some other movies) I felt the same way the I did when Russell Crowe received one for Gladiator and not A Beautiful Mind. But that seems to happen ... Read More Rating: - What was the hype?I finally sat down and watched this film and was left with a feeling of "ok?" Denzel Washington does a great job in his role. He is fun to watch as he took Jake Hoyt(Hawke) through a day on the streets of LA to see if he will fit in his Narcotics unit. Washington does a good job playing an amoral character as he toys to with Jake to see how far he will go into the dark side and make amoral choices. Times I was wondering if Alonzo is simply evil or a master of the mind screw ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
