Denzel Is the Best!

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2011)

Training Day is Denzel's best film no question about it. He usually plays the good guys but not here. Even though his profession is supposed to be good, his character is far from good. This movie should have been nominated for Best Picture. It may have been one of the best films of 2001.
This is about a rookie cop named Jake Hoyt and his dream is to be a narc so he can make his family's life better. He gets put into the supervision of veteran narc Alonzo. It turns out that Alonzo ain't like most cops.
Denzel Washington deserved his Oscar. If anyone one else won it would have been an outrage. Ethan Hawke had a very convincing performance as well.
Overall, Antoine Fuqua directed an action-packed thriller that is one of the best of 2001. I rate this film 10/10.
