Good, but different on the other hand...

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2002)

I couldn't believe that this film was really from the director of "The Replacement Killers (1998)." Because I saw T.R.K. as Fuqua's first work, and that had more intense action than this one, like pervasive gunfights. "Training Day" is pretty good and somewhat realistic, too; but it could have been more better and intense as a decent Los Angeles setting. Other than that, Denzel Washington plays an impressive character whenever he partners with other people. I too, give this movie an 8 out of 10.
