This is the second time I saw this. I remembered this as being a realy good movie. Seeing it today,opposed to 10 years ago, I think if you take away Denzels performance this is a decent but not awesome piece.

A pretty good performance from both Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington, and this may be one of Director Antoine Fuqua's best movie's even if it isn't perfect.

Amazing action movie!
With "Training Day" Denzel finally receives his long deserved Oscar for his performance.
9/10 stars

Great film protagonized by a fantastic actors about police corruption and dangerous gangs in usa. I recommend it!

Heard about it from Staley

I'm honestly surprised by how much I liked this, because a lot of Fuqua's work after this has been a little bland and disposable. However, this is a totally different story. It's a very solid crime film that's driven by the incredible performances from Hawke and Washington. Even Dre and Snoop are completely solid in this, proving that Fuqua can draw good performances out of just about anyone. The cinematography holds up really well and there's a great rhythm to the editing. The story, while predictable to an extent, deals with interesting themes that you don't always get from movies like this. Sometimes the dialogue is a little try-hard or over the top, but overall quite a good film.

7/10

_Training Day_ is an intense crime thriller that keeps you on the engaged from start. The film's plot is full of twists and turns, and the tension between the two leads is apparent. The action sequences are great, and the movie's depiction of the dark side of law enforcement is both thought-provoking and disturbing.

Denzel hits the spot in this good-cop bad-cop classic. Ethan Hawke has rude awakening on his first day as a Narc. Great fun.

9/10

Ethan Hawke and Denzel carry this movie, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s a good movie. The story is interesting, the shootout scenes are tense, and the writing is good, too, but Jake and Alonzo are what turns this movie from a good film to a great movie.

Denzel Washington as Alonzo is just phenomenal. He is such a cunning maniac you can’t help but be hooked by this character. You almost expect him to weasel his way out of the shit show he put himself in, but unfortunately for him, things eventually come to bite him in the ass. I can’t talk about Alonzo without talking about Jake; Ethan Hawke puts in his usual great performance. Although there is nothing special about him as a character, his good, selfless nature contrasts Alonzo’s selfish evil nature excellently.

"What a day. What a motherfuckin' day."

Haven't seen this one since high school were a teacher showed us this one near the end of the school year. All I remembered that I really liked Denzel Washington and that Snoop Dogg was in a wheelchair. My memory was good. Denzel is fun in this and Snoop Dogg is still in a wheelchair.

Training is basically Denzel Washington's Alonzo setting up Ethan Hawke's Jake to pay off a debt to some Russians. It's flashy, loads of swear words, gun pointing, bad policing and some cameos like Dr. Dre, Terry Crews, Snoop Dogg and Macy Gray,

Anyway Training Day was a fun way to spend this afternoon and since high school I've seen much better performances from Denzel Washington but I'm still glad that I was impressed by him when I was in the middle of puberty.

what a masterpiece!
amazing dialogues and absolutely fantastic performance by Denzel ...
King Kong ain't got Shiiiit on him!

Good performance from Denzel Washington, but unfortunately the story line was short, wish there were more scenes in the movie ..

7.6/10 Danzels perfomance was just great!

Very obscure, rather brutal, sometimes intriguing but overall just a mediocre "cop flick": Alonzo is the best "Narc" in the streets of LA and feared by his enemies as well as his friends. But soon it becomes obvious that he has his hands in a lot of rather dirty businesses. And since he owes 1 million dollars to the Russian mafia he has even less scruple to break the law himself. But can he get the money in time & convince the newbie Jack that it is necessary for a cop the break the law?

My favorite Denzel performance, but not favorite movie. A good watch, but nothing really special.

Probably the best Denzel movie

>"King Kong ain't got shit on me!"

This is a great gritty flick about corruption in the police force. I rememeber watching this as a kid but it got even better with a rewatch. I would say it is pretty good but Denzel's performance is what elevates it to another level.
