SPOILER! you're in the office baby

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2003)

to quote dr dre this is xplosiv west coast sh**. i dunno if ya can swear on here best make sure not though. I first saw this on vcd winter 2001 and was totally blown away i hadnt really seen much of ethan hawke before this picture and i thought he matched denzel's performance all the way through, both actors were really immersed in that lifestyle and their characters' personal backgrounds that they were totally believable as cops. For me the most important the most important thing in the movies is believability, if thats a word i doubt it. I thought the plot was as well worked out as alonzo's plan for hoyt and the way the girl's wallet got hoyt outta the bath and previously the 'blood test' no backing out barrier that alonzo enforces. Another reason why i love this movie is for its quotes and when still dre kicks in when denzel flicks the switches is legendary. Not coming from an environment as bad as that myself, i thought that training day like 187 and i a way the shield does, gives a view of that harsh culture not portrayed as clearly in boyz n the hood n menace. I thought the acting was great, the plot was tight and relavent and well planned and it was good to see other artists trying their hand at acting especially macy gray, who i didnt recognise at first! i dunno if this spoils the plot that bad but if u aint seen it ya have to and if ya have i hope ya enjoyed it as much as me. laters
