Go Denzel!

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2001)

Denzel Washington is so often cast as the good guy that his ability in playing a truly evil character is often misused. Here he excels as the senior, corrupt, police officer trying to show Ethan Hawke the ropes on his first day in the job [hence the title].
Of course you knew that Hawke would rebel against this, but all the same this is thoughtfully directed and the cast play well off Washington.
Some of the cinematography is excellent as the longest day seen in film since Nicolas Cage's "Bringing Out The Dead".
Worth a look.
