Training Day
Réalisé par Antoine FuquaJake Hoyt est une nouvelle recrue de la police de Los Angeles. Décidé à devenir inspecteur, il sollicite une mise à l'essai de 24 heures auprès du sergent chef Alonzo Harris, un vétéran de la lutte antidrogue qui opère depuis douze ans dans les quartiers les plus chauds de la ville. D'emblée, Harris fait monter la pression, considérant Jake comme un gamin, raillant sa candeur et son inexpérience. Commencent alors une longue et périlleuse tournée à travers les bas-quartiers, les premiers contacts rudes avec les dealers et les informateurs, la découverte d'un monde trouble où Harris se meut en grand seigneur. Peu à peu, Jake apprend à connaître le policier : son cynisme et son jusqu'au-boutisme fanatique, qui les entraîneront dans des situations de plus en plus dangereuses.
Training Day Notations et commentaires

- KGM SOSA26 décembre 2025Corrupt Cops, Iconic Quotes & Eva Mendes Ruining My Focus… I just watched Training Day (2002 I think) & this quickly became one of my new favourite action/drama/crime films of all time!!! I’m rating it 10/10 stars!!! I knew I’d liked it because I’d seen a lot of it from short clips online but I’d yet to actually fully watch it from start to finish properly in 4K UHD on a big screen. Let me tell you virtually everything about this movie from start to finish is incredible. We first have to highlight how spectacular Denzel Washington’s performance was as Alonzo, he was incredible, his performance was something special that couldn’t be replicated, this is one of those casting choices that are iconic & couldn’t of been pulled off by anyone else such as Heath Ledgers’ performance as Joker in Dark Knight or Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface; Denzel was born to play Alonzo, the way he executed the character from capturing his psyche to the mannerisms of his speaking were art in its purest form, he captured such a perfect balance between calculated & eccentric, impulsive but also deliberate; When an actor can bring that special something to a role of a bad guy that makes you like him & root for him it’s magical, as evil as Alonzo is you still somehow root for him to triumph over all the other characters, he’s the cool bad guy not the despicable villain, somehow being the protagonist when he’s actually the antagonist. I’ve always liked Denzel with my introduction being ‘the Equalizer’ but hate to say I always thought he was maybe overrated but over the last 1-2 years I’ve explored his roles that had real depth like this, ‘American Gangster’ & ‘The Book of Eli’ & have come to realise just how wrong I was, this particularly closed any seed of doubt left about his brilliance. The way he brought tension to any scene was eerie, he was actually scary to watch in the most enjoyable way. What isn’t discussed enough is the fact that so much of Denzels’ dialogue & scenes were completely improvised, according to Ethan Hawke his line would be something simple like “f*ck you” & instead would come out a monologue that become infamous. I have so much more I could say. But also a highlight of this movie was Eva Mendes, sheeeeesh 2002-2007 Eva Mendes’ was criminally sexy, if you saw her nude scene with her bare gyatt, you’d drink her bath water. But also her acting was great too & I wish she had a bigger role. The story is based on around rookie cop that spends his first day as a LA narcotics officer with a rogue detective who isn't what he appears to be. The corrupt & eccentric behaviour of the detective spirals the day into chaos. To summarise, this is a 10/10 masterpiece of cinema that I will never forget no matter how much brain damage I sustain throughout my life, a riveting piece of cinema.
- jackmeat5 mai 2025My quick rating - 7.5/10.
- Stairwaytothestars4 août 2025Will Ethan Hawk's character, Jake pass the mental challenges of TRAINING DAY, or will his moral consciousness override the battle of right and wrong up against machiavellin and viotile Alonzo, played by Denzel Washington's corruption as the devil's advocate? Great performances by Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, and it's always nice to see the lovely Eva Mendes.
- Eazy Nielson12 juillet 2025Good action movie.
