content: I saw training day in the theaters the week of release, and loved it.It had s decent amount of action and denzel played a very good part, your never really sure if hes good or bad until the end.Im glad i saw it BEFORE he won his award, because if i did what almost all the people badmouthing this movie did and expect WONDERFUL acting and look and pry at the movie for plot holes i would never have enjoyed it.sure theres things that where not needed or things that didnt quite make sense but who cares, the story was good the movie was fun thats all that matters.Falling prey to any kind of hype can kill a movie experiance.Look at episode I, everyone expected THE BEST and when it wasnt the greatest thing they had ever seen...well the were dissapointed.Leave expectations of a Brilliant performance at the door and expect a courrupt police movie with good acting,action,and story and you will enjoy this movie.
