Training Day

 

I should have watched this one, when it was released. As Training Day has been referenced and repeated sso many  times in media I think I lost something while I waited. One of the Mexican gang members, is that guy from The Closer, the corrupt detective is explored in the Shield. 

I think the script isn't great. It depends on honour amongst thieves, and a gang banger who is very concerned about his nieces's education. 

 Denzel elevates it, with a full throttle performace.

Oh and Denzel does gangster speak, he repeats everything. He constantly questions, and challenges- I find this tiring

I note that Denzel is reading a newspaper, this dates the film

Oh, Snoop Dog in a Wheel Chair,  John Spencer, and a Ford Ka, I note that the 1990s has not ended yet

Indeed Ethan Hawke

I thought the plot rather then the script, was weak. Surely it is easier just to kill the Newbie first

I am glad I crossed it off my script
