Title: Training Day - Good Movie
Post by: Immortal on June 05, 2003, 01:05:13 AM
I downloaded this one, the dvd rip off. This is a really good film. Denzel Washington acted really superbly carrying out his 'gangsta attitude' role and so did Ethan Hawk. THe story was good and so was the acting. Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre had some funny ass roles. Especially Snoop.lol. I'd rate this one as a classic because this film exemplifies what really happens out there in the real world...ppl are corrupt and fucked up and lifes like that in many places all over the globe, so you either live with it or don't live with it.

Ethan Hawke is one of the worst fucking actors out there, but Denzel shits all over this film and i think its Snoop's best acting job. Soundtrack is dope too.

yeah Denzel is intense.

i'd like to hear what someone thought about Dre+Snoop's performances from someone who doesnt even know who they are until after they've seen the film.

I thought Dre sucked much monkey cock in this film, dude can't act for shit, but then again it was only until Still D.R.E that he actually looked comfortable on a music video, look at his old shit, he is never relaxed on them and thats when he should be being himself.

yeah its a dope movie.  Dre's acting was horrible.  Snoops acting was alright, better than his other roles, but I thought he overacted it way too much.  At least dre had the sense to realize he sucks at acting and stick to the music, props to him for that.

speaking on the movie..im i the only one who thought denzel's character (alonzo) was doing the right thing throughout the movie....i cant pick an instance where i thought he was really a bad guy ....i was so pissed when ethan hawke got the best of him...and when he was shot at the end

I feel ya, he needed the money to pay the russians so he killed the druggie guy and took all his money and shit.

Great movie.. Dre can't act, his performance in this movie was no exception to that.

Great movie, and an acting worthy of praise from Denzel.  IMO, Dre and Snoop just sucked; well i guess snoop was alright, but they both should quit trying to act lol.  Peace

I love this film, I would say it's one of my favorite movies ever. Denzel's acting performance in this movie is one of the best and most natural I've ever seen, good thing he got his well deserved Oscar. On the other hand Dre + Snoop both acted badly in their cameos, Dre should just focus on music period, and Snoop should stick to low budget films only. That's only a minor thing though - everything else about the movie was top notch. Storyline was brilliant, fighting scenes were great, it's captivating from beginning to end, there's never a dull moment. A classic for sure.

I dont know about classic. But it is a good movie.  The only classic thing about this movie was Denzel's character.  You cant call a movie  classic cuz of one actor..thts like calling an album a classic that only has one classic song. Everything has to be classic for a movie tobe a classic

i mean in every way he handled everything....he killed the drug dealer cause he was selling to kids...stole the money of that bitch cause it was obviously illegal...everything else...it still pisses me off that they tried to make him the bad guy >:(

Decent movie 7 out of 10

Classic - yeah right

I thought Snoop worked his ass off in his role, him and Macy Gray did really well (although Macy acting like a crack whore wasn't really acting).

Dre sucked ass.
