Close to reality?

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2002)

"Training Day" is a superb cop film. It has all the elements to succeed, first of all the acting is great. Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke give a great performance as the corrupt police and the rookie, respectively.
Something impressive about this movie, is that cameras were allowed to film real gangs and their "hoods. That's something to be frightened of.
You have to watch this film to understand why Denzel Washington won the Best Actor Oscar. A MUST SEE! Even if you don't like cop flicks, you should check this one. Recommended.
