Training Day Ratings & Reviews
Gene Capman
April 1, 2025
The top of Eva Mendes's butt crack stole the show. RG is a lucky man.
IndieWire
Wilson Morales
We hadn't seen Washington play the bad guy before, and with his ferocious, dominating, and charismatic performance, the Oscar was his...
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Great performances, but for adults only.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
If he makes it through the trial by fire -- and a blandly twisting plot with no meaningful revelations or substantial themes -- Hawke will get a promotion, but there's nothing in it for us.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Abruptly shifts gears, switching from character-driven issue-oriented thriller to formula action-driven cop flick.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
On a purely visceral level, Training Day is easily the most exciting movie out there right now, but as a morality tale with anything large on its mind, it's a cop-out.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Training Day isn't just one of the finest cops-and-robbers thrillers of recent years, full of devious twists and gut-grinding tension, but it also steers clear of convenient moral formulas.
Observer
Rex Reed
Training Day is a tense, polished, well-made action thriller that suffers from bad timing.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A razor-wire-taut (and extremely violent) exploration of what happens when good guys go bad, badder, baddest.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
As usual Washington is astounding. He grabs the screen like a vise and never lets go.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A rock-solid Hollywood thriller that showcases a corrupt cop's twisted abuse of innocence.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Washington is dazzling as Alonzo.
Washington Post
Megan Rosenfeld
A taut, high-velocity film.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In the end is less than fully satisfying.
Slate
David Edelstein
Giving Alonso a melodramatic secret -- a reason for this particular behavior on this particular day -- trivializes the whole exercise.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
While Training Day is a violent film, its brutality takes place in a believable moral universe and isn't just tossed in to give us a thrill.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
This movie is so racist that it's almost possible to overlook the wholesale misogyny.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
Washington plays Alonzo like a con man with a one-two punch ... It's tour-de-force acting.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
When Denzel gets going, however, he sure does go!
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Denzel Washington just keeps on getting better -- and he's positively riveting in Training Day.
