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!!
