Police drama about a veteran officer who escorts a rookie on his first day with the LAPD's tough inner-city narcotics unit. "Training Day" is a blistering action drama that asks the audience to decide what is necessary, what is heroic and what crosses the line in the harrowing gray zone of fighting urban crime. Does law-abiding law enforcement come at the expense of justice and public safety? If so, do we demand safe streets at any cost?

Critics Consensus

The ending may be less than satisfying, but Denzel Washington reminds us why he's such a great actor in this taut and brutal police drama.

Superior buddy cop movie.

Denzel Washington chomps down on the role of an unprincipled narcotics cop with exhibitionistic relish, but it's already an overrated performance -- a karaoke bad guy from an actor with an almost untarnishably righteous screen persona.

We hadn't seen Washington play the bad guy before, and with his ferocious, dominating, and charismatic performance, the Oscar was his...

8/10

Washington is instantly, absolutely superb; without ever missing a beat, he’s unpredictable, reckless, macho, funny, and frightening.

Make no mistake, Fuqua’s Training Day is one of the finer films to take place over the course of a single day.

You know a movie is good when your surroundings seem to dissolve away as the characters and narrative effortlessly command your attention. A well paced movie with top notch performances and Denzel Washington really knocking it out of the park.

Manipulation, gang warfare, and an unscrupulous attitude, everything required to survive on the streets. A simple yet grave plot, depicted through the decisions and actions of two cops, 'Training Day' provides insight into social-dynamics through challenging audience perspectives. Iconic.
