Training Day (2001)

Denzel bores the wind out of my ass with the Mr Serious routine in most of his films, which makes Training Day all the more enjoyable; he's fantastic as the cop with a hard-on for his job as a bent NARC. Ethan Hawke also shines as the butt-hurt noob with good intentions. It’s safe, predictable and over-long but has two damn fine performances from both leads.
Did I just recommend a Denzel film? I think I did. If it had a better ending it'd have scored higher.
