What a ride!!

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2001)

From the moment I sat in my seat until the end of Training Day, the ride was unbelievable; absolutely incredible. There were those first few quite and terse moments before Ethan Hawke(Jake Hoyt)meets Denzel Washington(Alonzo Harris). SPOILER!!Hoyt's at home with his wife and new baby and is excited at the chance he's been given to join an elite LAPD narc unit. Hawke(Hoyt)meets his would be mentor and it's off the hook from then on. The Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg song is most appropriate as they begin their adventure through the streets of LA. Adventure or nightmare, good cop or bad cop, are questions you ask yourself as the movie proceeds. All the while you watch Harris play serious mind games with Hoyt, encouraging him in one breath and literally punking him out in the next. You should enjoy the breakneck speed of this movie and if you're a fan of Washington's acting as I am, you'll enjoy watching him take it to another level.
