Denzel Washington gives an amazing performance. Ethan Hawke does a really good job. I would have like to see Leonardo DiCaprio play the role. For the story, its nothing less than incredible. Alonzo thinks he has all the power. On the other hand, Jake doesn't feel like he has no power..... He thinks his career and his life is in the hands of Alonzo. He finally realizes that is far from true. This movie kept me interested the entire time.

Overall, it was much better than I was expecting. With a script from David Ayer, though, how could anyone go wrong?

Captivating doesnt quite do Training Day credit. Denzel really needs to get away from good guy roles and do bad guy roles. Although movies like Remember the Titans were great, Training Day was amazing

I've always loved Ethan Hawke in just about every film he's in, including this one, but Denzel Washington stole the show here. If I were summarize Washington's character in a few words, it would be "deliciously evil." Although the film meandered at times and it was a bit too long, it never ceased to be interesting. A good movie to watch if you decide to stay in on a Friday night.

While not too, deep, and not incredibly special as far as plot goes, depth of character that Washington created is undeniably special. A good crime drama, that never really specializes in anything but the bad guy. See it, you will like it.

It's refreshing when actors step outside their normal boundries and impress you with something you don't get to see too often. Case in point: Denzel Washington in Training Day. Trading in the nice-guy persona for a dangerous cop with an agenda all his own. Washington can play a devious, dirty cop as well, if not better, than said nice guy. And poor Ethan Hawke, who wants to be a nice cop, is taken on the ride of his life. There is plenty of violence, drug use and the like - but it is needed for a film this gritty.
