Good and could of been better.

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2001)

Training Day is engrossing, shocking, and powerful going three fourths of the way through. Denzel Washington definitely has a possibility at a best actor nomination as a corrupt cop in one of the best performances he has given in quite a while. Ethan Hawk is also good as one who's just getting to know this corruption. It's over produced but still believable, that is until the last 20 minutes or so. The ending has some effectiveness, but is implausible and contains definet idiocy. The movie could have been great had the ending lived up to the rest of it. Still most of the movie is quite good. I give it a 7 out of 10.
