Training Day

Rating: 7/10 (17 October 2010)

Detective Alonzo Harris believes he is in the wild west, having to bend and break rules to keep peace on the streets, but new recruit, Jake Hoyt is not too comfortable with Alonzo's radical approach.
This is a film about the mean streets and the things that need to be done to survive, but I did not find this film the least bit interesting, Hoyt character was far too much of a coward, and Alonzo was just annoying, maybe that was Denzel's intention...Eva Mendez was stunning as ever, here her appearance is limited, the one aspect of the film I did find interesting was the deal with the Russians, I felt more could have been emphasised about Alonzo's money problem. Having a bunch of rappers make appearances did not give the film any real credibility..I expected better from Mister Washington....But the end scene was great, as Alonzo met his fate.
