Actually the movie is supposed to be about one cop (Washington) training the other (Hawke) to be a narcotics detective. But the whole movie Washington behaves like anything but a cop, letting criminals run, destroying evidence, finally he murders a drug dealer to steal his money and almost get's Hawke killed in the way. The story itself was okay, but I did have a problem with the vulgarity of the language.

Hehe ;D \0/ Thanks for your reviews, Jakesgirl and Sasha I didn't know Ethan Hawke was in it, I like him a lot I also like Denzel Washington. Two great actors imo. Unfortunately, reading your reviews, the screenplay wasn't that great...

thanks for the review as well girls, about explicts language well sadly it's a trend in cop/police genre, so i agree with Sasha about that...

The plot of the Training day seems to be quite interesting to me, if it didn't turn out to be a good movie, the reason must be somewhere else. It would be so strange to me to see Danzel Washington to play a kind of a bad character, a kind of corrupted cop. He has innocent smile. I always saw him in the very positive roles.

I felt the same way, Mermon. It was strange to see him use this kind of language. I am in no means prude and I don't mind the use of some language. Also I know that in this movie Washington did it to intimidate Hawke, to scare him, so it fit the movie, still it bothered me. But in the same way Washington was so believable as the bad guy.

- I can hardly imagine that. For even that's reason, maybe it's worth to watch.

It's not my fav movie, but if you get a chance Mermon, see it. Will give you an idea of who Jake will be working with next.

Maybe I will do that. I found that film on line, just now, so probably I will watch it.

I am a fan of cop movies, so I might like it, but seems to me I like all Jake movies, so that's no big surprise...

MrsJakobGyllenhaal - - Certainly, I will. Actually, I've already started, but I had to stop. I like the beginning, I don't like so far Danzel character, I mean, cause he's not nice guy, at all. I don't like the way he treats Ethan Hawke character. That's it what I can tell you for now.
