Demographic stereotypes and proven money makers make this movie one of the stupidest... well, if you like that sort of thing

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2001)

I went into The Training Day not knowing a single thing about the movie. I hadn't even seen a preview. From the second the movie began, I was confronted with some of the worst American action movie cliches. There was everything from frontal nudity during gun fights to gratuitously graphic violence that even had me (a very desensitized American movie goer compared to most) angry at the graphic detail in which some scenes were allowed to go into. The way that the different races were represented in this movie gives me little to no hope of racism ever ending....especially when I see the way that Hollywood continues to portray ethnic groups. This movie in particular painted namely females, Russians, blacks, and Puerto Ricans in a negative light. I was disgusted to see all of the minorities being shown as "the bad guys". I don't think I can say anything positive about this movie.
