Denzel's acting, from his facial expressions, his multitude of raw emotions and gestures/mannerisms was absolutely supreme. My God, this was his best movie. He really made you hate him but you couldn't help but like him. You paid attention to every single second of detail in this scene, thats how captivating he was. You wanted Ethan to win but you didn't want Denzel to die. He was too superb to exit the movie. And when he did, it was bittersweet and you know it had to go down that way.

A movie character hadn't grabbed my attention after this for a while until seeing Daniel Day Lewis in There will be Blood and then Ledger's performance as The Joker in Dark Knight. We live in a generation of amazing actors and the best part is that you can always go back and rewatch these films over and over again. To this day I wish I could've seen Godfather 1 in theaters but I wasn't born yet. You gotta appreciate the work and dedication actors put into a scene. Literal blood, sweat and tears in this one. Bravo.
I didn't want Ethan to win lol. He beat tf outta him on the rooftop. I turn it off after now. Or fast forward to the king Kong scene then turn the movie off 😂😂😂
@wn nfr Hrw All the movies you mentioned were also typical Denzel. Denzel being Denzel. In the same way Jack Nicholson plays Jack Nicholson in every movie. In some movies, what makes Denzel break out is his raw emotion of acting. You Know its Denzel, but man, you feel this is Really happening to him in real life. It is just so raw that its almost captivating and leaves you in awe. I do 100% agree with you that of the movies you mentioned, for Me, Flight he was probably at his Least typical Denzel I'd say. And the Committee hearing where he admitted he was Drunk was absolutely pure. So in that movie he stood out a lot. I guess I just like Denzel's signature swagger, from the way he walks and talks to the way he becomes violent or comforting, so I am being personally biased to say that in Training Day he exceeded expectations in all those categories for me. As a Good guy, Denzel's personality can be smooth and cold. But when he played a villain, he was even colder. Scary. Intimidating. And very unsettling. He was Satan with a Badge. His manipulation, foresight and sense of showmanship to boost all that was incredible. This guy convinced me (like he did Hoyt) that all the Horrible shit he was doing was ok. He successfully justified it all the way to the end. He never felt like a true villain to me but maybe an Anti hero. He had me so convinced that it shocked me when he killed Sandman and then tried to have Hoyt killed in the end. To me, that was a different Denzel, or maybe I am probably biased to great actors playing villains because to me that is when they really shine. And Denzel was no different.
It's to show that his power trip and confidence was all a delusion he'd built by being invincible as a cop. Once his tenure expired and an organization that doesn't give a fuck if he's a Fed or not caught up to him his entire delusion started to crumble. Losing the respect of the Eses was pure coincidence because Hoyte saved his niece. He had already lost the respect of the homies in the Jungle so all that was left was his job and once he was face to face with another Detective who was well within his rights to shoot his ass it all came crumbling down. Good examples of fragile egos coming down are this, GTA 4 when you kill Vlad, and GTA 5 when you kill Devin. I'm speaking specifically of their individual personalities and their fate after testing their own deitious delusions
Training Day is just another testament to the brilliant acting of Denzel Washington. He can literally change from a good guy to a scumbag in a blink of an eye. Denzel helped make Training Day into an undeniable classic.
yep, Alonzo started down the same noble path as Jake but made different choices along the way. i am sure, in the end, Alonzo had nothing but respect for Jake - if he even had time for these feelings while accepting his soon to come fate
"YOU SHOT ME IN THE ASS!" only one person in this situation can bust out a line like that silky smooth and not only take away from the moment but uplift it into the stratosphere. Amazing stuff.
Performances like seen in this scene should be shown to theater and performing arts students. The range of emotions, both physical and expressive, voice variations to help the tone transitions= elite acting.
He absolutely got off on hearing Jake say "you wanna go to jail or go home?" Psychopaths love hearing their "essence" replicated in others. Probably gave him a small pleasure in his moment of doom.
Agree. The little smile after Jake said it however small was still deep down some satisfaction, a piece of him has finally rubbed off on Jake (remember he spent the entire movie trying to turn him) and that he finally made a crack, that’s what you saw in Alonzo’s eyes. 😏
@@R-L-I Yeah although it’s funny, Jake was saying that to the mick out of him. But Alonso is egotistical that he thought he got through to Jake a little bit. I guess you can interpret it either way
Funny enough, he did okay in this movie, as well as he could've been asked but as he got older, he has done some seriously great stuff. :) But JESUS did Denzel Washington swallow up every scene he was in!
There are certain group of actors in Hollywood who inspite of doing substantial work are underappreciated,John C Reilly,Ethan Hawke,Paul Bettany,Edward Norton,just to name a few.
Hawke did good, but comparatively lightweight next to Denzels heavyweight quality. Every film Denzel appears in he stamps the character down so convincingly from every camera angle that some of his co-stars end up looking like jobbing actors around him to such an extent that you only remember his performance.
@@Pulsonar Hawke was playing a rookie in that movie,he was a amateur who was spending his day with a pro,but through the course of a single day he grew up to be a man who stands for himself,it was quite a understated performance. And similarly Denzel was supposed to be over the top,handsy,loud mouth bastard and he played it perfectly too.Antoine had a vision about the two. They were supposed to be the yin and yang,Hawke being the observer and Denzel the executioner.
He’s a phenomenal actor. Makes every movie his own masterpiece. He stood right next to The One ☝🏾 and only Denzel Washington and held his own plus some. Salute 👉🏼🔥👈🏾
@Darth Maul hey there's other Alonzo's out there though. For every good cop, there's at least 2 crooked ones unfortunately. Maybe Jake gets promoted and ends up working with Internal Affairs to bust other crooked cops.
Denzel's reaction to being shot in the behind is beyond priceless! In that moment, he realizes Jake shot him in the behind, which is totally humiliating. And he also realizes, he's not going to be able to get that bag of money, which means he's probably going to die tonight. 😂😂😂
@Parfootery Chill yoo lmfao. Don't be all in your feelings. Nobody said anything about another nationality. It was about RUSSIANS in this movie not Nigerians lmfao. Feminine energy🤣
It's his first as the lead actor... his first "Best Actor" award. He won "Supporting Actor" for Glory. The Best Actor is like the MVP, while the Supporting Actor is like the 6th Man award.
@@KtotheGNo truth in that at all. And calling it best actor is not only disrespectful but ignorant,there is no such category. Called LEADING actor. The awards are more or less equal,depends on thr performance,size and quality. Walz winning for Inglorious while Penn won for Milk,who remembers Milk today? Bardem,Ledger,Del toro and more giving more impressive performances than the leads. Actors also end up in supporting if they are marginally less known,like Ethan here, while Hopkins won the leading actor Oscar for a supporting turn with 16 minutes of screentime. So basically,nope to all your words.
@@wolfmanlyken8675 l agree. Not by far his best. Everything the man has done has been phenomenal. So much so that other actors have asked to play along side him, i.e Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, etals. Hanks thanked him for helping him win an Oscar for his role alongside him in Philadelphia Story. The guy is just God gifted.
You gotta appreciate the lengths and effort that Alonzo went through up to this point... the mad hustle to get all that money and survive all up to the last minute. He is corruption incarnate, everything evil about this underworld... all throughout the movie, he just seems so untouchable by everyone they encounter... crackheads, gangsters, drug dealers, civilians, even other detectives. Only one person that could touch him, and that was Jake. He did everything he could to seduce Jake into his influence but found that Jake is the untouchable one. What an amazing movie... they just don't make em like this anymore!
So he had to be a crooked cop in order to reach the pinnacle of his career he's actually had much more that was actually better than this movie this is a good one only because its relatable... Proves people are one dimensional
Ethan hawk is a phenomenal actor. Makes every movie his own masterpiece. He stood right next to The One ☝🏾 and only Denzel Washington and held his own plus some. Salute 👉🏼🔥👈🏾
Sorry I don’t feel that way onnly bc he just acts as a simp the whole damn movie anyone could do that shyt do not even compare him to bieng close to Denzel

What about Morgan Freeman? Or sam Jackson? Or jack Nicholson? Or Leonardo DiCaprio? Or the actor six nine who pretends to be a gangster when the camera is rolling?
Very nice and subtle detail on Alonzo going for the cigarettes instead of the gun at first. He was desperate but he wasnt still going to risk compromising the game he always had in his favor. Then realizing how things were going he went for the gun after
I cant believe he improved this. Possibly the most impressive acting ever filmed. Definitey top 10 in anyones book once they remember this movie. 1. Breaking bad 2. Training day
Wrong. That's scripted. You can see they're both laughing. Why? Because they despise Alonzo. What would you do if you saw someone you loathe be shot in the arse? You'd probably laugh.
I see a lot of people with no acting skills hating on Ethan's performance. This is why normal people who don't understand how people act in situations shouldn't be critics.
It has to genuinely be said that Training Day is truly one of the greatest films ever made. Powerhouse believable performances all round. Absolutely incredible.
@@kevinb.1454Real shit. He antagonized and tortured that community for a long time, bullied them with his authority as a cop. Of course they wouldn't help him.
I always found the delivery of "thats good jake, I'm glad to hear that" so good. it kinda emphasises how alonzo couldn't care less about anything beyond himself. his eyes too, you can see even before he starts to panic the real fear in his eyes, denzel is something else
I always thought it was funny how the badge flipped backwards on its own at 1:08. Guess Alonzo got too deep in criminal activities that it’s literally become nothing more but a piece of metal. Which it is.
The symbolism of this scene is just so good. Everything each character does, every piece of blocking, has a meaning and a purpose and represents something. It's just so good.
"they're not like you". I love that. Even though they are "gangstas" they follow a code. Alonzo was a cowboy. didn't follow nothing but himself. His ego got him killed.
Probably his first movie he's ever acted on... But was so into the dialogue of what Denzel is saying probably wasn't expecting the gunshot... So he was probably kind of embarrassed because he got scared as if it was a real gunshot, forgetting that it's just a blank gun shot
2:20 was such a suspenseful moment as an audience. We see a frame of the gun on the floor, and Denzel bends over. Then the cigarettes refocus. Crazy stuff
![Kill the Batman (The Joker meets the Mob) | The Dark Knight [4k, HDR, IMAX]](/img/n.gif)

Wrong. That's scripted. You can see they're both laughing. Why? Because they despise Alonzo. What would you do if you saw someone you loathe be shot in the arse? You'd probably laugh.
@@Jimbo8012 idk man it looks off script to me tho. He even trynna hide his laugh cuz he doesn't wanna get caught

Killing is never good . he's not good in the equalizer
@@leannemcfaul9333 killing is never "good" but doesn't make it unnecessary.
For years, I’ve been a Denzel Washington fan. This is just another reason to admire his acting ability.
When alonzo gets shot in the ass, there's a homie bursting of laughter in the back 😂!
One of the best films ever..

This is the scene that came to mind when McGregor went on his rant while he was on the canvas with his leg broken still talking shit to Poirier.
Mcnugget is a pussy xd
😂😂😂😂
Just like Rousey. Won big, talked big, fell hard.
Yea Connor has loud lips.can you fight with a snapped leg.doubt it.connor will inhialate him next time .100%
Think Connor took his injury well tbh...Time will tell
This might be weird but I really like the the instant where he grabs the smokes instead of the gun. That little scene switch there is good
Yeah it was a good touch lol not many people mention it.

What does that mean quote mean ?
"They're not like you. You know what I learned today?.. I'm not like you."
"That's good jake im glad to hear that"
I see a lot of people with no acting skills hating on Ethan's performance. This is why normal people who don't understand how people act in situations shouldn't be critics.
It has to genuinely be said that Training Day is truly one of the greatest films ever made. Powerhouse believable performances all round. Absolutely incredible.
One of those timeless films👏🏼😍😍Denzel was insanely good. Versatile actor for sure💯
One of so many outstanding movies ETHAN AND DENZEL wow magnificent as always.
Hawke played the villain in 'Brooklyn's Finest with the same fate.
Underrated fire ass movie
Really?
Bone Was Also In That Movie Too
Oh shit..never seen that one
Yea Brooklyn’s finest was the best straight to dvd movie ever
"It ain't like stepping on ants, Jake" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know a dude is truly hated and bad when even his own people won’t help him.
They weren't his people though
@@whooodat3723 exactly just because you share the same race doesnt make them his people at all
Cops and criminals alike, when they both despise your existence you really fucked up
@@chasinggreatness7561All skin folk ain't kinfolk.
@@kevinb.1454Real shit. He antagonized and tortured that community for a long time, bullied them with his authority as a cop. Of course they wouldn't help him.
Washington's acting was so unbelievably realistic.
Never forget, this man took a 45 to the ass and was still standing…😂
Ikr!!!. How??
It was a 9mm..not a 45.
Cop Issue .45 Baretta he shows it at the beginning when Denzel asked if he was holding...
2:59 😂.. Gagsters in the background thought it was a real shot. 😆
They wasn't ready!
PTSD 😆
It's called a script.
@@kameyeam could be script. Also could be unscripted being that director used real blood members in there real hood as extras
Ain't nothing new to the p stones
I always found the delivery of "thats good jake, I'm glad to hear that" so good. it kinda emphasises how alonzo couldn't care less about anything beyond himself. his eyes too, you can see even before he starts to panic the real fear in his eyes, denzel is something else
Man that scene is amazing but also hilarious, the way the guys in the back are laughing their a** off after that shot 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I Think the same ..ajajajaja ajajajaja funny 🤣
"You got us twisted homie, you have to put in your own work around here." I love that line, peace to Shaheed formally none as Bones.
My dumb ass: I dont remember this part from remember the titans.
we dont need education right g...
Bruh....lol
Lmao G!!!

@Devil Dog US Marine bro he was just joking around
I always thought it was funny how the badge flipped backwards on its own at 1:08. Guess Alonzo got too deep in criminal activities that it’s literally become nothing more but a piece of metal.
Which it is.
Arguably the best ending scene in any movie. Ever. Period. 1:58-2:07
The symbolism of this scene is just so good. Everything each character does, every piece of blocking, has a meaning and a purpose and represents something. It's just so good.
I'll be honest. This is one of the most memorable movie ad placements that I can recall
Denzel really played his role here. Class +++ A acting.
Great ending one things I learned from this movie if you an bad cop don't ever hang around an good cop don't matter how cool they are
Nigga you everywhere
That man earned his Oscar... GOAT!
The fact Denzel improvised this scene speaks volumes to his legendary career in the movie industry. He’ll forever be the best to ever do it.
Both of them won Oscars for this film roles. Very real, raw, gratifying
Ethan was nominated but did NOT win
I like how the badge he puts around his neck turns itself around like "nah bruh, im not with this fake ass cop"
good catch and noticed the badge turned around twice lmao
The badge felt betrayed and ashamed so it hid its face 😂
I’ve heard people say this film ain’t that good ! I think it’s brilliant
Their just being some haters.
So amazing on both parts such well acted parts and we all know it doesn't take anything to kill somebody
Took notice of both these stellar actors with this film. Great director!
“ you can’t do it . Somebody drop this fool for me “ is equivalent to “ Raheems dead , somebody shot him “ 😂😂😂
Such a masterpiece
Great film and a great piece of acting by both actors 👌
The ethic transcends the ethnic!
FAFO. It's what's for dinner.
"they're not like you". I love that. Even though they are "gangstas" they follow a code. Alonzo was a cowboy. didn't follow nothing but himself. His ego got him killed.
And what exactly is that code lol? You acting like they have honor or something?
@@Jackholiday1025
They chose their path whereas Alonzo was juggling both lives
3:02
The reaction of the background character always gets me 😂
He broke character and you see the other patting him on the back as if to say: "dude, stop laughing".
Probably his first movie he's ever acted on... But was so into the dialogue of what Denzel is saying probably wasn't expecting the gunshot... So he was probably kind of embarrassed because he got scared as if it was a real gunshot, forgetting that it's just a blank gun shot
Crazy thing is Denzel improvised 90 % of this movie
DENZEL IS ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING IN THIS SCENE,,,INCREDIBLE!!!!🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Denzel is legit playing the Joker right now lol.
He would be the only black joker I would pick
@@ade8182 Simon Pheonix.
The way he looks at Jake when he lights that cigarette up always kills me idk why 😂
2:20 was such a suspenseful moment as an audience. We see a frame of the gun on the floor, and Denzel bends over. Then the cigarettes refocus. Crazy stuff
