This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Training DayDavid Ayer's anticipated vision communicates straight and crystal clear to the audience where they are instructed to hold on to their seat belt and join the journey of a day along with these amazing lead characters that never fails to surprise. Antonie Fuqua is in his A game and doesn't disappoint at any frame of the feature holding the audience with wide open eyes for 2 complete hours. Danzel Washington and Ethan Hawke have put their soul into these parallel roles to an extent that the performance overpowers its explicit screenplay. Training Day is brutal, raw and dark natured feature that endorses its upcoming events in a subtle way that is unpredictable yet with genuine reasoning and soul that surprisingly has no barring and no rules just like its streets.

While I did like the contrast between the two main characters, and the conflict of their clashing personalities, the ending is a bit of a disconnect. The question of "How far is too far?" comes up a lot in this, and Hawke's morality driven mindset completely clashes with Denzel's self-centered one. The thing that holds the film together though is Denzel's heel turn as Alonzo Harris. The plot's good, Hawke is alright, but the most memorable part is Denzel. While his character is incredibly brutal in his tactics, and uncaring of those around him, you feel like he wasn't always this corrupt. Like he started this job with the same intentions as Hawke, but lost his way to madness. That's a good dynamic, the part with the Russian mob though, is a bit of a drawback. It's brought up about halfway through the movie with no real introduction, and it's never fully explained. It's like the conflict that was already there is swept under the rug for this faceless mob vs corrupt cop plot. The ending is also just kind of there. Denzel gets shot by the mob and dies, after somehow escaping a neighborhood that hates him holding him at gunpoint. Had it ended with Hawke walking away, and Denzel's rant being interrupted by a bullet, I think it would've ended better. "Training Day" is an interesting film, with some concepts and performances I can appreciate, but the ending and random Russian mob plot drag it down a little for me.

Let me start off by saying I loved this movie. It is an intense, non-stop crazy ride that feels absolutely authentic and dangerous down to every last gritty detail. Real tight direction by Antoine Fuqua. The performances are uniformly excellent, particularly by Denzel Washington in a well deserved Oscar winning performance. Give Ethan Hawke some love as well as he really stood his own with the titan Denzel. I won't divulge too much of the plot, as you can simply read the description. However, my only problem with this movie, and I've seen it twice now, is in a crucial part of story execution. I still don't understand, and maybe I'm just too dense to get it, what exactly Denzel's character did to get himself into trouble so that he ultimately had to abhorently sell out his partner.
