One of the best Denzel Washington movies of his very long and storied acting resume, Training Day is a scary intense movie that will rock your world, your perception of right and wrong, good versus evil, the police in our society and much more. Pick up your copy of Training Day on DVD here, and read a full review below.
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
Training Day is a movie that you absolutely have to see and you should definitely add it to your collection. The Training Day DVD is one that you will watch over and over again, for the crazy, intense story and the amazing performances by both Washington and Hawke.
