Denzel had one of the strongest runs of any actor during the 2000s. Man On Fire, Training Day, American Gangster, back to back to back. Fucking legend

[@Kickinthescience]

Don’t forget John Q, Remember the Titans and Antwon Fisher

[@markmac2206]

Malcolm X and Philadelphia too. he's one actor ive never seen strike out.

When did the remake of Manchurian Candidate come out?

[@neilmartin99]

He was the Tom Hanks of the 2000's. I remember that period of about 8 years when everything Tom did instantly turned to gold.

[@rollyro71]

As good as Denzel is on Training Day, he should've won best actor 2yrs before on "The Hurricane". Instead the award went to...Kevin Spacey 😕

During the poker scene, if you listen very carefully to the background noise, you can actually hear Alonzo driving away in his car.

it took them a while to realize that denzel was in fact not "training" him lmao

[@traww6346]

Nah they still didn’t get it fr! I hate it for them but the Denzel was a crooked cop to begin with. Jake just got partnered up with the wrong person. I guess these females not been evolved or seen a corrupted cop before

Yes, he was

He was training him to be crooked but realizes his student was too GOOD,so he set him up to be killed.

[@k3n12ock]

One of Denzel's best movies. Won an Oscar for Best Actor and Ethan Hawke was nominated for best supporting. Another one of my favorite Denzel movies is Inside Man. Would be nice to see a reaction to it since theres barely anyone who's done so.

[@vkdeen7570]

fallen is another great movie of denzel's. hawke is great in the horror movie sinister.

[@nicolasbaron4506]

This is yet another example of a basic premise elevated by strong lead performances from Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, taut direction, and solid pacing. A prequel to this film is in the works at Warner Bros. called Training Day: Day of the Riot, which will be starting in California soon.

[@ericrice1914]

Though this is a movie of fiction the Denzel Washington character is based on a real police officer of the LAPD Rampart division. Raphael Perez was a corrupt police officer for LAPD in the 1990’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Pérez_(police_officer)

[@slagwill5599]

Truth. Rampart was probably the most corrupt precinct in Cali. Had to be disbanded as a result of the dirt they shoveled.

[@Nicholaspimpinsohard]

This is one of the greatest and realest films ever!! This movies filmed in Los Angeles, Watts, Inglewood, and Compton too. All of those cities are on the West Coast within America.

[@spiritscar]

It was funny seeing the first part of this reaction how badly you girls misread this movie, the characters motivations, the whole situation. You girls were so way off the mark of what this movie was about a good chunk into the movie 😆

[@cesarnarro6013]

They kept trying to justify Denzel's characters actions because they thought he was cool

[@spiritscar]

@@cesarnarro6013 They even say at the beginning about Ethan Hawke’s and Denzel Washington’s characters, “They’re going to end up being best friends” And the other girl replies “Yeah”. Not quite ladies 😆 It was surprising though because usually women are more in tune with and prone to pick up on social dynamics and interactions. Not the case here! LOL

[@GrimGualla]

Their english is broken af anyway, that accent is janky as hell

[@jeffgordon854]

@@spiritscar They’re from Eastern Europe, and Bulgarian girls, especially, have a different cultural/societal outlook than what we would tend to expect from people/girls around this age in ‘the West’ when it comes to a LOT of things lol. That’s a very simple way of explaining it but I know more about the women from Russia, Ukraine & those, so-called ‘Baltic’ countries to the North/West like Estonia (which isn’t Baltic, but Finno-Ugric), Latvia, & Lithuania, and they generally react a hell of a lot differently than girls we’re more commonly familiar with in the US & Canada. It’s definitely interesting tho lol

[@thelegendsrtru]

To be fair in original test screens people really kept thinking he was good even after the set up scene. Its on the dvd commentary people were so used to Denzel playing a good guy his villain was almost surreal

[@User-zzyyxxvv]

Denzel won an Oscar for this role. Also this film is loosely based on the LAPD rampart scandal in the late 90s and Alonzo’s character is loosely based on LAPD officer Rafael Perez from that scandal

[@ADR199E]

A really good movie that showed the complexity between good and evil..... And how the good side has (Good and evil) and the evil side has (evil and Good) The constant battle between morality is always among us as humans.

[@timothyhedrick5295]

"Just go on vacation and evacuate and come to Bulgaria and open a coffee shop and live happily ever after and raise your baby." I have to say Ellie has a good plan. Great reaction video. As a recently retired 32 year law enforcement officer in the US (mostly in drug enforcement), I would strongly recommend "The Departed" as an incredibly tension filled film on the subject of corruption (also organized crime) in law enforcement. You might also consider "The Town" about organized (and disorganized) crime in Boston. Both great films.

[@rezalustig6773]

Probably a broad question, but it makes me wonder how Bulgaria is as a vacation spot.

[@aldozanoletti8166]

Reason I love this channel is cause you girls have reacted to many of my all time favorite movies and you have had fun with them and have enjoyed them and this one isn't a close favorite but when you have an actor like Denzel Washington star in a movie you're guaranteed to a wonderful and great performance

[@daniell.c8560]

I really love your reaction to the part when Alonzo speaks spanish with his "Wife" and his kid. "Papacito" it's like a nickname that father's use to afectionally call their children boys. Btw, i'm from El Salvador especifically and today i still don't know what kind of food Alonzo's wife served to jake Lol

The first time you watch this movie you feel like Hoyt. You want to like and trust Alonzo and waiver back and forth about is a good guy who is just bending rules or is he really evil. Most of the guy's hanging around outside Alonzo's apartment were real gang members that was the only way they could safely film in that hood.

[@swacfan100]

Denzel won an Oscar for best actor for this movie. Its the 1st time he played a villain in a film, Denzel is such a great actor he actually made me hate his character in this movie. The director said of the character Alonzo, is he most likely started out like Jake. Wanting to make a difference, but inch by inch he did things against the law to get Justice as a narcotics cop, til eventually the evil took over him. Alonzo became a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Fun facts about this movie: Smiley from Hillside 13 gang is actually an actor from New Zealand. Possibly Polynesian background but spoke pretty good Chicano accent. Dr. Dre plays corrupt narcotics officer Paul who got punched by Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) even though Dr. Dre's raps "disses" cops😂. The gang leader BONE from "The Jungle" is actor Cle Shaheed, a gang member from Athens Park Bloods who became an activist. And I'm sure y'alls know the wheelchair drug dealer BLUE is Snoop Doggy Dogg. 👌

[@AdamF89]

Ethan Hawke really is a great actor. “Tape” by Richard Linklater might be my favorite performance of his
