    Training Day is something else

    Ethan is the good cop and Denzel is the bad cop... but you can't help but like Denzel's character in the beginning. Later you realize just how twisted this guy is. A great acting job by Denzel. It was a case of playing against type, a risk not all actors can take and come out with their career intact, but Denzel has done it here. Ethan held his own, too. Look for authentic scenery and atmosphere in this one. LA's finest will not like the way they are portrayed here, but I really believe this is how it is to some degree, but certainly not in all cases. Still in all, ths is one excellent film.

    George you beat me to the punch! I was just going to start a thread on this movie.

    You've covered my thoughts exactly of this film. Very good indeed. And Ethan did an incredible job.

    I'll just add that the transfer is also state of the art.

      Denzel Washington's "Flight"
      by Chris D
      Arrrrrgh... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: This is a decent movie, that centers on a major event of a plane crash, but is really all about the lead character played by Denzel Washington and the massive demons he carries of addictions. No spoiler there--Robert Zimeckis puts that blatantly right...

Not a sidesplitting comedy,...
