In The Next 24 Hours....

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2005)

from the moment i heard that trailer the film had sold me with its suaveness, the Denzel factor, and the fact Ethan hawke got to play another supporting role with such sheer acting brilliance. The action is spectacular matched only by the intrigue and suspense as Hawke finally unravels Washingtons plan for him. Hawke could be seen as the ultimate in anti-stereo typical cops, white and legit. the political factors in this film cannot be missed however the film is well shot, well written and well acted apart from Scott Glenn's terrible turn as Roger. the film is a symbol of denzel Washington's rise to the top and the line "king Kong ain't got nuthin on me" serves as an ego boast for Alonzo and Washington. Training Day Lacks the real magic however to make it a long time stayer in peoples minds but never the less a good watch.
