Stop the presses because Netflix has added the essential Denzel Washington thriller in time for the weekend. The streamer now has the gritty crime film that led to this living legend earning his second Oscar. We can all stream Training Day, and the world is much because of it. Buckle up, folks, because you are getting a crash course in this cinematic masterpiece.
Warner Brothers Official Synopsis
“Denzel Washington delivers an Academy Award-winning performance opposite Ethan Hawke in this gritty drama set in the morally ambiguous world of undercover police work. Every day a war rages between drug dealers and cops on the streets of America’s inner cities. With every war come casualties, none greater than 13-year veteran Los Angeles narcotics officer Alonzo Harris (Washington), whose questionable methods blur the line between legal and corrupt. Today Alonzo gets a new partner, idealistic rookie Jake Hoyt (Hawke), and Jake has one day–and one day only–to prove his mettle to his fiercely charismatic superior. Over 24 hours, Jake will be dragged into the ethical mire of Alonzo’s logic as both men risk their careers and their lives to serve conflicting notions of justice.”

Training Day is that girl! So, I am happy Netflix added her after this last price increase. You have to give the people more Denzel Washington for their dollars. While this is clearly a Denzel vehicle, I hope we can also acknowledge that this is probably the best performance of Ethan Hawke’s career. However, everything about this film is almost perfect, which is why it is iconic.
Is Training Day your favorite Denzel Washington performance? Or do you think he has given better performances in other films? Let me know at @misssharai because I am nosey.
