Training Day 15 cert camera

Dir: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke
Release: 1st February 2002

Training Day

Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke
When current films tend to be more interested in spectacle than story it's refreshing to watch 'Training Day'.

Neil Heath

The film is a classic account of how too much power can corrupt.

The Plot
Jake Hoyt (Hawke) is a young, recently trained police officer. He's ambitious, idealistic and above all he's a good guy, looking to rid the streets of drug dealers. Jake has to impress Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (Washington) in order to make the specialist narcotics team.

Alonza is a veteran when it comes to this area with a record number of arrests under his belt.

However, as the film rolls on, it becomes clear that Alonzo is as bad as the men he puts away, frequently blurring the line between legality and corruption.

His twisted logic on how to police the streets, can at points get the better of us. It's then up to Jake to drag us back to recognise some sort of morality. His idealism, and quest to flush the scum from the streets, does in fact save his life.

The review
'Training Day' is a great film, it has everything.

Hawke and Washington are excellent.

The photography paints a gripping and realistic portrait of the streets of L.A.

The film is also extremely violent.

On leaving the cinema, you'll be swearing like a Gallagher brother and extremely wary of all types of authority.

5/5
