4 stars An African American Who's Who
Great acting and performances! An excellent story about the search for a killer of a black soldier in the segregated deep South. Most incredibly it delves into the feelings of shame and self-loathing that African American's can sometimes hold about themselves. It helps explain how any little source of pride and dignity can go a long way. This movie features many black actors in their early days. The only thing I have against it is how the plot suddenly went from "we have no idea who the killer is" to "we got our man" with no intermediate steps. It's like the producers ran out of money and had to wrap things up. But that still does not take away from what an awesome movie this was!

Antoine Fuqua (THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, BAIT) turns up the intensity level with TRAINING DAY, a charged drama about police corruption in downtown Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a well-intentioned young officer who thinks he's found his ticket to becoming a detective in the form of undercover officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris is a notorious figure in the streets and in the office. He also has the authority to make Jake's professional wishes come true, provided Jake is able to prove his worth on Alonzo's team. At first, Alonzo's blunt, carefree demeanor provides a shock to Jake's optimistic system, but as it becomes clear that Alonzo is dangerously out of control, Jake must decide whether or not to risk his future in the name of the law. Washington's performance as the evil, pragmatic detective is a sight to behold. He delivers his lines with a devilish ferocity that keeps the film bubbling throughout. Hawke slips ...
