Pretty good movie about twisted cops.

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2002)

This one was a good one!! Its a good thing Denzel Washington won the Best Actor Award, I felt that Ethan Hawke should have won the Best Supporting Actor Award. He did an outstanding job. No matter what anyone else says, I think he should have gotten the award instead of Jim Broadbent. PLOT: (POSSIBLE SPOILERS) It's the first day on the job for Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke). And what he wants more than anything is put put crooks and cops behind bars....not become one. But that is going to be tougher than anything he's ever faced before, because his parter for the day is narcotics veteran Alonzo Harris, a cop who turns out to be dirtier than the thugs he puts away. All of the actors in this movie were good. The supporting cast includes: Scott Glenn, Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, Peter Greene, Cliff Curtis and much more. If you like movies with Denzel Washington because he is such a nice person and such a good actor, then stay away! You will hate him in this movie. But you will be able to relate to Ethan Hawke in many ways. If you like strong brutal violence and lots of language throughout movies, then this one is for you. You will find it interesting as Alonzo and Jake cruise the streets looking for trouble...and find it where ever they go. This is a knockout action film. A great suspense one, and a factual drama. So, I really don't know how to catigorize it. As an Drama Action Thriller? I don't know. All I know is that this is one heck of a movie and that I like it a lot. See it if you are a fan of strong violence. There's plenty of that to go around. TRAINING DAY: 5/5.
