Synopsis
Antoine Fuqua (THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, BAIT) turns up the intensity level with TRAINING DAY, a charged drama about police corruption in downtown Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a well-intentioned young officer who thinks he's found his ticket to becoming a detective in the form of undercover officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris is a notorious figure in the streets and in the office. He also has the authority to make Jake's professional wishes come true, provided Jake is able to prove his worth on Alonzo's team. At first, Alonzo's blunt, carefree demeanour provides a shock to Jake's optimistic system, but as it becomes clear that Alonzo is dangerously out of control, Jake must decide whether or not to risk his future in the name of the law.
Washington's performance as the hardened, pragmatic detective is a sight to behold. He delivers his lines with a devilish ferocity that keeps the film bubbling throughout. Hawke slips into the role of the rookie everyman with ease, providing a good contrast to Washington's fiery presence. Former video director Fuqua completes the picture by casting musicians Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Macy Gray in supporting roles.

Customer Reviews

Gritty Reality Revealed
I was so engaged by the acting and storyline that the quality of the Blu Ray transfer almost escaped my notice. A slightly over-blown ending is the only complaint.

MUST-HAVE movie
If Washington's impeccable acting in "Man on Fire" didn't deserve an Oscar then imagine what an acting Washington delivered when he got an Oscar for his acting in"Training Day". Accompanying the great acting from Washington and Ethan Hawke and a good soundtrack, there is a story that gets you right from the beginning. This is in my opinion Fuqua's best directing so far. This movie is a must-have for every movie fan.
