Movie Reviews of Training Day [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Outstanding Movie Just Got Even Better on Blu-Ray Summary: 5 Stars
Although we are used to seeing Denzel cast in heroic "good guy" roles, his portrayal of a corrupt narcotics officer brings forth one of his finest acting performances. As many other reviewers have already stated quite well, the chemistry between Denzel and Ethan Hawk who plays a "Newbie" cop trying to make it into the unit run by Alonzo Harris (Denzel's character) is captivating from the start of the day when the two meet over breakfast.
Being one of my favorite movies, when I saw it had been released on Blu-Ray, I had to buy it again. I am very glad that I did. The Blu-Ray version gives an added dimension to Antoine Fuqua's views of LA's streets, and brings them to life as if you are ridding with them in Denzel's Malibu - as he says "You're in the office, baby." Blu-ray brings the environments into focus with as much passion and detail as Antoine put into his directing - you can almost smell the rain-soaked streets and feel the pulse of the city. If you'd like to experience a "real-life, close-up tour of LA" as you watch a truly deserving Academy Award winning film, I recommend you buy the Blu-Ray version - it will not disapoint.
Summary of Training Day [Blu-ray]DVD Features: Alternate endings Audio Commentary DVD ROM Features Deleted Scenes Documentary Filmographies Music Video Theatrical Trailer
A powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington fuels this brutal urban police drama, in which a rookie narcotics cop learns the hard way that even good cops can go very, very bad. Washington plays veteran detective Alonzo Harris, a self-proclaimed "wolf among wolves," eager to teach his rookie partner Jake (Ethan Hawke) that normal rules don't apply on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Caught in a web of deception, Jake watches with escalating horror as Alonzo uses his badge (and the support of his superiors) to justify a self-righteous policy of corruption. In stark contrast to most of his previous work, Denzel unleashes his dark side with fearlessness and fury, and the result is excellence without compromise. Director Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers) won't score any points for subtlety, but gritty details (including actual L.A. gang members as extras) and Hawke's finely tuned performance are perfectly matched to Washington's frightening volatility. --Jeff Shannon A powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington fuels this brutal urban police drama, in which a rookie narcotics cop learns the hard way that even good cops can go very, very bad.
