Training Day (Blu-ray)

"The Only Thing More Dangerous Than the Line Being Crossed, is the Cop Who Will Cross it."

Features: DVD, Widescreen, Aspect Ratio 2.40:1, English, French, Spanish, Subtitled, Dolby Digital (5.1), Dolby

In a powerful departure from his frequent good-guy roles, Denzel Washington plays Harris, the twisted but charismatic detective who both attracts and repels as he becomes the kind of thug he's supposed to collar. Ethan Hawke plays unseasoned recruit Hoyt. And Antoine Fuqua (The Replacement Killers, Bait) directs, guiding a cast that includes music stars Dr. Dre, Macy Gray and Snoop Dogg. Training Day. It's a day of reckoning.

"...one of the finest cops-and-robbers thrillers of recent years, full of devious twists and gun-grinding tension..."  Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
"...Washington delivers the performance of his career."  Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"...Washington exudes the charm of a psychopath. He bristles, taunts, bellows and cajoles to get what he wants..."  Michael O'Sullivan, Chicago Sun-Times
"Knockout action entertainment."  Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"...Washington gives a hot-wired performance. The movie is first rate."  Richard Schickel, Time

Editor's Note

Antoine Fuqua (THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, BAIT) turns up the intensity level with TRAINING DAY, a charged drama about police corruption in downtown Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a well-intentioned young officer who thinks he's found his ticket to becoming a detective in the form of undercover officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris is a notorious figure in the streets and in the office. He also has the authority to make Jake's professional wishes come true, provided Jake is able to prove his worth on Alonzo's team. At first, Alonzo's blunt, carefree demeanor provides a shock to Jake's optimistic system, but as it becomes clear that Alonzo is dangerously out of control, Jake must decide whether or not to risk his future in the name of the law.

Washington's performance as the evil, pragmatic detective is a sight to behold. He delivers his lines with a devilish ferocity that keeps the film bubbling throughout. Hawke slips into the role of the rookie everyman with ease, providing a good contrast to Washington's fiery presence. Former video director Fuqua completes the picture by casting musicians Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Macy Gray in supporting roles.
