Training Day (2001)
10/10
Training Day is intense!
22 February 2024
Training Day is a gritty, but really slick looking, action packed cop drama. Denzel Washington delivers a performance of a lifetime playing a cop in a special unit and is paired up with rookie (Ethan Hawke). This was written for the screen by David Ayer who wrote and directed lots of cop dramas in Los Angeles. This was directed by Antoine Fuqua who was known for visually impressive action flicks like The Replacement Killers.. Denzel plays a narcotics officer that is more criminal than cop. This is Denzel Washington 's finest performance and that is saying a lot as his acting is always on point. In this film Denzel is a cop that is as corrupt as the criminals he is supposed to take down. It makes you think if this guy was always like this or if his job led him down that path..The dialogue is great and the film is fast paced and intense and this two hour journey is basically a man on a downward spiral (Denzel) and a rookie that is over his head and has to survive the day. Great support cast with Tom Berenger, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and more. Training Day is a original crime flick and Denzel delivers a performance of a lifetime..
