Training Day

anyone seen this? Overall, it was a great movie. The plot was great, and i love how it unfolded. The acting was great, but you can't expect less from Denzel. I love how you can love him in one movie, but hate him in another. That shows a good actor. The only thing i hated about this movie was the language. I'm not one to really jump about this subject, but there was just way to much profanity. I mean way to much. I really do think they went overboard with it, and to much was not needed.

I saw it a while ago at work, so i missed bits and pieces, cause i had to work, duh, but i thought it was pretty good. I totally agree on the language, they did go overboard. And the scene w/ denzel's g/f on the bed toward the end they could have left out, or at least put some clothes on her. That's probly the main reason I won't watch it again, or at least not very soon. Overall good acting by Denzel, of course, and i don't remember the other actor's name, but i liked him too.

I didn't care for it at all. It seemed completely unbelievable to me. I think Denzel Washington is a great actor, but I don't think he should have won for that picture. I dont' look at his carear and see Training Day as a carear high for him. That of course would be Virtuosity. I'm not saying that he did a bad job, but he should have won for something else if he won for Training Day. My main man Russel Crowe should have done.

I hope you're kidding about the viruosity, hehe. And wasn't Russell Crow in that also? Then who would you have chosen?

Out of Training Day and A Beautiful Mind, it's really hard to pick who should have one. They both did a good job. They both brought out their characters very well, IMO. I do think that Russell Crows character was deeper, cause it showed more progression throughout the movie, rather than just one day with Denzel. Anyhoo

Russel Crowe was in Virtuosity, the movie that changed my life.

I really didn't like this movie. I don't know what it was about it... I liked certain parts, but overall, I really disliked the movie.

And I am not a big fan of Russell Crowe or Sean Penn, but they got robbed. This should have been a two man race. Denzel played a role that seemed to me to be easy for him, while Crowe and Penn played complex roles.

I agree completely. Except the part of about Russel Crowe. He's the man.

I really enjoyed this movie. Nothing too deep, but it really makes you wonder if the police system really is like that. I doubt it. At least I hope not.

Ahh, one thing I will give this movie... it made me think about junk like that.
