This Film has to be one of the most intense shows I’ve seen . Ethan Hawke and Denzel are a great match together. Ethan plays the supporting role majestically. Great cameos in the show too. With Snoop Dog. Macy Gray, Tom Berrenger . But the show is highly tense. But good entertainment. “Are You a Wolf Or A Sheep?”

_**Great urban thriller**_ Ethan Hawke plays Hoyt, a rookie cop on his first 24-hour training day with the L.A.P.D. narcotics division.

This movie is meh at best. The plot is so-so. This isn't anything to write home about. You could make it into a B-Movie and no one would care. No one likes Training Day for Training Day... they all just love Denzel Washington's performance in Training Day, and that is just an honest fact. The movie wouldn't be anything if he didn't deliver and what he delivered was so sensational that people are going to b…

Ethan Hawke is on great form here as the rookie "Jake" assigned to the street-wise "Alonzo" (Denzel Washington) so he can learn the ropes on the highly dangerous streets of Los Angeles. Unsure as to whether not he is the one being tested, he finds himself being placed in a series of increasingly dubious scenarios by his new partner - each one testing how far he will go; how far he might "bend" the rules - just how ru…
