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

 This is your training day Officer Hoyt! February 3, 2010
J. Vitale (Williamsville, NY, US)
Training Day is an awesome movie hands down. The fact that I can watch it with my sweet new blueray player on my sweet new HDTV makes it even better. I have it hooked in to my surround sound and the clip when denzel starts up the monte and that rap song starts playing... oh man, amazing.
Well Done Movie January 30, 2010
Gerry W. Mosby (Henderson, NV)
Good performances by all in this drama set in the South Central area of Los Angeles. Denzel is excellant, as usual. Good realism, good story, a little short on the ending, but still good.
A modern classic now Blu-Ray. December 29, 2009
Anthony Burrows (Huntington, NY)
Being one not to double dip movies I already on DVD, Training Day was an absolute must own in Blu-Ray.
Training Day December 18, 2009
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In a city where streets are overrun by drug dealers, those who have sworn to uphold the law are breaking them to clean up the streets. Denzel Washington plays L.A.P.D detective Alonzo Harris, a veteran narcotics officer whose methods of enforcing the law are questionable, if not corrupt. 'Training Day' follows Harris as he trains rookie Jake Hoyt over a period 24 hours. Ethical dilemmas arise for Hoyt as well as the audience as questions present themselves as to whether or not Harris' methodology for ridding the streets of South Central Los Angeles of drugs is right or wrong. Denzel Washington is exceptional. This movie was extremely exciting and very entertaining. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
A surrealistic over the top bad cop thriller September 14, 2009
Dennis W. Wong
I'm sure that many fans were shocked when Denzil Washington did an about face from his good guy roles by playing Alonzo Harris, the bad cop to end all bad cops. He richly deserved the Oscar and I believe that the intensity of his performance also uplifted Ethan Hawke's performance since he received his first Oscar nomination. Before this film I was indifferent to Hawke, believeing him to be a competent but stiff actor but this film and the remake of "Assaust On Precinct 13" has changed my opinion of him as an actor. The "bad cop movie" is nothing new having its roots in the fifties with films like "Rogue Cop", "Pushover" and "Shield for Murder" as prime examples of this genre but this film pushes it to a higher level. And also the timing of this film helped at the box-office since the Ramparts scandal of the LAPD was in progress when this film was released. If you're a fan of this genre or a fan of great acting, this flick is recommended. It's also still available at a premium price in HD DVD (fantastic transfer!!) versus the $18 or $20 you'll have to pay for in Blu-Ray.
