Ronald R Great Movie!!! Highly Recommended!!! A++ 🍿🎥🍿 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review John W I like Denzil Washington and he is pretty good here. Good story and definitely watchable. Unfortunately the action is let down by usual Hollywood fight scenes where protagonists take super human punishment and car doors stop point blank machine gun fire etc. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Piya S Next level dialogue and performances by all Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Dante H Its training day, and what a ride. Very watchable and repeated viewings. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review K K A powerful movie based in part on real events. Law enforcement seems to have people who blindly support them and go along with "we risk our lives". Then another side who thinks law enforcement tends to be bully personalities with limited understanding of the law, who are predisposed to abusing the power they receive, which really is quite a bit: the ability to take our freedom on a basic level. I try not to fall into either group and look at the group on an individual basis. Sure, I've encountered petty, biased law enforcement members who want to throw their weight around and or be pawns for the affluent and connected while making sure the rest of society kiss their butts or face consequences of the badge. I have a natural tendency to not kiss ass in any situation and actually rebel against such a thing, I tend to be more skeptical of law enforcement. Sure, watching Denzel Washington portray real life, Detective Alonzo Harris could go to confirm biases people might have towards corrupt cops. Really, all professions that hold some power over society are ripe with fruit who turn to abusing power. Washington did a fantastic job and being this detective, exhibiting what one could hope law endorcement would not do. Each of the scenes was delivered with a genuine nature, which had me buying into the storyline. Hawke's character, though, can have us see there are heroes in law enforcement that are not out to pad their pockets, abuse people via the power of the badge and not being interested in petty things, but an interest in going after real crimes rather than driving around all day making sure ego stroked and getting ass kissed due to the badge. Hawke's character initially wanted a mentor and role model and rather quickly learned it was not in Washington's character. Strong fight scenes and action. A serious drama. Watch the movie. It holds up for viewing sum 25ish years after it was made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Douglas G Good movie, but Denzel Washington showed he can be a bad guy and (again, but wow) ACT!
