pretty ridiculous

Rating: 4/10 (16 February 2019)

I use to like this movie but I honestly can't stand it now. Too many cliche scenes, over the top cartoon like characters (like comic book villains like in baby driver) also undeveloped as well. The part that was most annoying (and it wasn't Denzel overacting) it was the mexican gang scene. How many times can Ese, Holmes, Homies, vato, and then another ten more Ese's be really that necessary. This was suppose to be a serious movie? hmmm. Not even close.
The idea of this movie was interesting but terribly done. One dimensional boring or unlikeable characters and violence, cussing, and a few "gangster" scenes. There are much better movies of this genre thats thought provoking and doesn't come off cheesy and unrealistic. I highly recommend HARSH TIMES. Its not a good coop bad cop movie but its a very well done film about two friends who are the opposite when they grow into men and have different goals and problems. Christian Bale is outstanding in it too and unlike training day, harsh times has real gut emotions and believable scenes. Also even the unlikeable character has some depth and humanity and we get to see different sides to them unlike Training day where alonzo was awful from start to finish just a bad guy no real relatable traits. I give Training Day a 4/10. Denzel and ethan are amazing actors but i thought the script was bad and made no sense. The story is moronic and the characters are caricatures. Stinker. Rent HARSH TIMES!
