Training Day
The only thing more dangerous than the line being crossed is the cop who will cross it.
Rookie cop Jake Hoyt wants to stop crooks, not become one. But staying on the right side of the line that separates cop from criminal will be more challenging than anything he's faced. Because Hoyt's senior partner for the next 24 hours is Alonzo Harris, an undercover narc meaner than any of L.A.'s mean streets.
In a powerful departure from his frequent good-guy roles, Denzel Washington plays Harris, the twisted but charismatic detective who both attracts and repels as he becomes the kind of thug he's supposed to collar. Ethan Hawke plays unseasoned recruit Hoyt. And Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers, Bait) directs, guiding a cast that includes music stars Dr. Dre, Macy Gray and Snoop Dogg. Training Day. It's a day of reckoning.

Washington and Hawke star as Alonzo and Hoyt, a seasoned detective and his green trainee riding shotgun. The pair is partnered in paradox and, respectively, exemplifies corruption and righteousness. Washington earned his acclaim with a brilliant performance in which he strikes fear with swagger and lunacy. Hawke deserved far more credit than he received for his portrayal of a relentless, conscientious character with subtle grit and misleading weakness. Along with the acting, shocking turns to the story separate this from the countless other rogue cop action flicks. Ayer’s screenplay is a career best with classic lines like Hoyt’s “That's the second time you’ve pointed a gun at me. There will not be a third.”Ethan and Denzel are both at the peak of there careers! - movie_goer
1 of the finest films to hit Cinema, it makes Beverly Hills Cop appear as a bad trip from to much fatty food at the Golden arches and not enough recommend sleep.
For Most Movies Denzel Washington star's as the swift, heroic good- guy who's always courage, and saves the day. However Training Day broke the mold to his long lasting heaven sent ego. Transforming him into a cold heart, cold blooded cop who was shot his gun first, and though of reprocusions later.
Washington's villinanist character steals the show and gives him another Academy nod by fellow Hollywood Elite making this an endless trackrecord for the talented actor. But it also earned him street credit with people who survive the LA streets everyday of there lives. Training day is smart, collective and a wake-up call to those who think gang violence and drug trading is cool. *Newsflash* It's a ticket to jail or worse death.High-Def - KevC
This movie is already a must see in my opinion, and now with a high def release, it has definitely gone up the ladder. The acting is so strong that you will not even know who is trying to outwit who. It is all a game that is taking place on the streets, especially when little events throughout the day end up influencing your future.
