Training Day (DVD, 2002)

a good movie. seemn it once before. great deal, only payed a dollar!! great seller, done buisness with before. know i can trust them, i dont have to leave the hpuse to go try and find it.

Training day is the best action, good cop vs. bad cop movie of all time. Of the movies I enjoy, this is the best and once you read this, you too may agree why this is the best ‘Training Day’ anyone could ever have. If you like to watch a film where you are pulled through the movie, scene to scene until the end, with out any down time, then you must watch this movie.

I have watched this film over and over again. I first saw the film with my mother. The trailers grabbed my attention in such a way that I thought it was ‘ok’ to take mother, but throughout the movie learned that this film was much harder than expected. I then bought the DVD and have since watched this film over and over again, easily over 10 times. I can replay the movie in my mind, scene after scene and nearly line for line. The movie won academy awards in 2001, Denzel Washington won the Academy Award for Best Actor and Ethan Hawk was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
If you love action, twists, emotion, all in a story that is believable, then this movie is for you. Even after I felt that the film may not have been so good for ‘mother’ to watch, she too proclaimed how well the film was done. The story is about one day in the life of the rookie. He is working his way up to detective and all he knows is what was taught in the police academy. On the flip side is Alonzo Harris, played by Denzel Washington. He lives and breaths the streets, turns his back on smaller crime to tangle with the bid dogs. He has created relationships with some criminals, but will stab them in the back to get what he wants.

The movie plays on many great twists where Alonzo Harris plays the good cop, gone bad. Ethan Hawk, as Jake Hoyt is the rookie cops, who on his first day, his Training Day, lives through many challenges and tough decisions, some that save his life. Alonzo uses his power to try and clean up a personal mess he created for himself with a gambling bet gone badly in Vegas. He is out to do whatever it takes. He needs to get his hands on a very large amount of money fast, before midnight, and he has one hell of a plan that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire movie.

The movie has non-stop action from the beginning where you learn of Alonzo’s attitude during the first scene in the coffee shop, where Hoyt becomes Alonzo’s morning entertainment. Alonzo isn’t interested in anything anyone has to say, unless it is part of his plan. If all goes well for Alonzo, he will settle his debt with the Russians and go on with his dirty life, unless Hoyt gets in the way. The movie keeps you interested, wondering what next. One scene, Alonzo illegally stops a car and steals their dope, in another scene Alonzo holds a gun to Hoyt’s head and tells him to either smoke the drugs or get out of the car. Hoyt’s desire to become more than he already is has him make some tough decisions that all play right into Alonzo’s plan. There is only one scene in the movie that allows for a quick breather before the action kicks in again.

There are many elements in this project and in the movie that go against society’s norms. Gambling, drugs, guns, sex, rape, dirty politicians, drug money, stolen goods, and revenge give much to this movies intensity. For those of us who live life by the book and every now and again want to see what it would be like to live a life of crime, then this movie is for you.

Wow!! I dont even know where to begin when it comes to describing this movie. If you have not scene it, watch it!!!If you do not own it, buy it!! The only reason Im selling it is because I have 2 copies. This is one of the most intense, eyes-wide-open-the whole-time movies youll see in a long time. This movie will have you biting your nails, gripping your partners arm with a deathlock, and eating popcorn with a ferocity not usually scene in humans... Yea, its that intense...

Denzel Washington plays a corrupt police officer that forces his new trainee to turn the other cheek on serious matters. Denzel also sets him up to be the shooter in a raid operation even though he wasnt. Denzel has alot of connections in los angeles so he gets away with alot, so he thinks! He got into with some russians in Las Vegas, so now he owes alot of money to them. Will he get the money to them before its to late? You have to buy the movie to find out! Buy this movie!!!

Training Day has enormous replay value and is a well produced reality movie. Denzel Washington is the perfect gagster once again, he knows how to play the part well.

5 out of 5

DENZELL WASHINGTON IS A GANGSTA ASS POPO. HE IS A STRAIGHT UP FOOL IN THIS MOVIE, I LUV IT. YOUV'E NEVER SEEN DENZELL LIKE THIS EVER. BUY THIS CD, I GUARENTEE YOU'LL LUV THIS MOVIE.

Nothing was wrong with the deal. This guy is the man. The movie was on time and made my day when I received it. Would love to do business again.

outstanding quality despite the price.I didnt even notice there was a 2nd movie on the disk.This is a great crime drama.

The product purchased arrived timely and in great condition. I'm very satified with the service and its content.

Thought it was a deal of a price. Then found out why. I was sent a burnt disc that didnt play. Description portrayed this movie like it played well and was an original disc. Seller just sent junk to me basically. Buyer beware when ordering from this person.

Love the story line and Dezenl Washington is a awesome character in this movie. A must see if you love gangster flicks.

love this guy in all movies dont own this was a great deal to add to my 100 dvd collection. i love movies

i loved the movie and i think this seller is very honest and makes sure his customers are satisfyied with their choice and that means alot to me

This movie was pretty good because it shows Denzel's acting chops. and the fact that they had Cholos acting in the movie was pretty funny.

People get what they pay for...
Other than the DVD skipping for a few seconds it is fine...

Thanks for the prompt shipment! I love Training Day :-)

This is one of my favorite movies and Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors. This was like the first movie where he played a bad guy for once and he just blew me away with his performance. This has to be in any movie lovers collection.

I remember being lent this on DVD during the summer holidays by a mate soon after it was out. I must have watched it every day/second day for about a month! I loved it so much I could never get enough. Denzel and Ethan are a perfect match for this movie; I can't imagine anyone else playing their rolls. Can you? You will either love this movie or find it just a way to 'pass a night'. If you connect with it then you'll never forget it. I know I haven't and I haven't watched it since 2002 because I can remember every part in detail! Training Day is one of those movies which breaks new ground in terms of how a movie can come across to people. It was filmed in such locations such as Imperial Courts neighborhood which, until now, hasn't been filmed. The talk is the talk... you get a real sense of what it's like for these guys as narcotic officers and for what it's like for these guys as the 'bad guys' themselves. At the end of they day they're "Just people and they always were" (Ethan Hawk in a making of Traning day interview).

The movie isn't the fastest paced one around - there are some slow moments but they are played out meaningfully due to some great acting talent which gels the scenes together well. The more you watch it, the more subtle lines and actions you will pick up which make this movie authentic.

Overall, to each his own. I have found this to be one of my favorite movies due to great acting, great directing, great casting (Hawk, Washington, Scott Glen etc) and an interesting storyline.

its a great movie, denzel washington is at his best in this movie from 2002. a lot of action in it. great ending.

Great movie, I loveed the fact that it was in exact condition as stated, it played well, no flaws...........................................perfect e-bayer................. will n have done buisiness with again.

I purchased this dvd for my husband, it is another one of his favorites. We love all of Denzel Washington movies. I just decided to give it to him for Father's Day and add it to our collection.

This movie is awesome, Denzel Washington is an excellent actor and plays the role to a T'. You can't help but to think does this kind of corrupt stuff really happen? You know it does. This movie you can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

Thank you for your prompt shipping ! A+++++++ !!!!!!!!!...........................................................................................................

This movie has enough action to keep you awake, but not so much so as to take away from the other aspects of the film. The plot is lively and includes several twists that aren't violent enough to cause seasickness, but are just right. There is a sprinkling of comedy and definitely some sexiness, too. The cinematography matches the film well. Ethan Hawke and Denzel are both great actors, and play their roles well. Coming from LA, I'd like to point out that the film seems to be a little bit of an exaggeration--but not that much, I'm sure.

Get this movie, it's entertaining for anyone who is capable of being entertained.

very good dvd and superfast shipping from seller, i would definately buy from this seller again with no problem what so ever. i hope to buy many more dvds from this seller again in the future...
