Viewer Reviews (TMDb)
This Film has to be one of the most intense shows I’ve seen . Ethan Hawke and Denzel are a great match together. Ethan plays the supporting role majestically. Great cameos in the show too. With Snoop Dog. Macy Gray, Tom Berrenger . But the show is highly tense. But good entertain…
Bazzjazz · 9/10_**Great urban thriller**_ Ethan Hawke plays Hoyt, a rookie cop on his first 24-hour training day with the L.A.P.D. narcotics division. Denzel Washington plays veteran Alonzo Harris whose methods seem questionable, to say the least. Harris argues that one has to become a wolf to…
Wuchak · 8/10Denzel Washington is sensational in this, the plot might not quite match his performance but <em>'Training Day'</em> is still a great watch. It's a riveting 122 minutes, I'm just not in love with how the premise is played out. Washington's character, Alonzo, never really changes…
r96sk · 8/10This movie is meh at best. The plot is so-so. This isn't anything to write home about. You could make it into a B-Movie and no one would care. No one likes Training Day for Training Day... they all just love Denzel Washington's performance in Training Day, and that is just an hon…
GenerationofSwine · 10/10Ethan Hawke is on great form here as the rookie "Jake" assigned to the street-wise "Alonzo" (Denzel Washington) so he can learn the ropes on the highly dangerous streets of Los Angeles. Unsure as to whether not he is the one being tested, he finds himself being placed in a series…
CinemaSerf · 7/10A lot of good themes in this movie. Makes you forget this is a vice style cop duo patrolling and cleaning up the streets.

@IvanZavala-e2m · 50 likesIn his Oscar winning role is just the pinnacle of it. Just epic to re watch it very often on tv.
@CraigMcfly1985 · 78 likesAs a great way to celebrate it, you could show these movies, now with outstanding quality, back in theaters. I'd totally pay to watch them in theaters, as I didn't have the chance to do it when they came out back then (and how I wish).
