In most cases, movies are judged by the uniqueness of the plot. There are plenty of action-adventure movies, especially movies involving cops, bank robberies...etc. Training Day is a movie that features these common concepts but yet it still ranks among the best movies of all time. What is it that separates this movie from the rest...
The Cast:
Denzel Washington is without a doubt one of the best actors of our generation. He has done some great films, Remember the Titans for example. That being said, this might have been one of his best performances in his acting career. Coupled with Ethan Hawke, the two create a partnership that is amazing to watch. This movie also features actor Scott Glenn and small apperances by Snoop Dog and Eva Mendez.
The Plot:
Ethan Hawke, who plays a rookie cop, has just been called up to the force to join parnters with Denzel Washington. Denzel has been around for awhile and has created a strong reputation around the community. He believes that he can do anything he wants because he is a cop. Constantly stealing and violating other people, Ethan Hawke suddenly finds himself in a place that he is very unfamiliar. He must decide whether to stay with Denzel or go back to his former days of a traffic officer.
The Unexpected:
The unexpected is what separates this movie from all other action crime thrillers. Throughout the movie, Ethan Hawke grows very resistant to Denzel and it is clear that he despises the actions of Denzel. You have a feeling that he wants to leave but your never sure that he actually has the guts to pull something off. I really do not want to give it away so I am simply going to say you need to watch the movie.
Closing:
This movie went on to win an Oscar and was nominated 13 other times with an astonishing 12 other wins. It is not a fluke that this movie took home that many awards and there is no need to advocate any more: watch this movie.
