Matt Connarton Unleashed: Erich Pilcher reviews Training Day.

0:00 M h. I grabbed that menu off that window. Point not get in it's unlocked. Just throw that the blow box. This car is not from the motor pool. It's not sexy dough in there. So where's the office? Back at division? In the office, baby going out? Day's a training day. Off to hoy show you're around. Give your take to the business. You know. I got thirty eight cases pending trial, sixty three in active investigation, another two hundred and fifty on the log I can't clear. I supervised five officers. That's five different personalities, five sets of problems.

1:23 You could be number six if you act right. But I ain't holding no hands, you understand, I ain't babysitting. You got today and today owned to show me who and what you're made of, you know, like narcotics. Get back to the office, get a nice desk job, you know, chasing bad checks or something to him out here. Okay, But if you want to be an art, I want to serve my community by riding of dangerous drugs, right correct? Or why you want to be an ard? I want to make detective. There you go, you can do it.

2:09 Roll your window down, start there. So you gotta hear this stream. You gotta smell it. You know you gotta taste it feeling as you

2:22 learn that, learn that, get you killed him, plot and all kinds behind your back. Denzel Washington, that name alone draws such reverence from film fans. His performances are legendary, and time and time again, he is wowed filmgoers with his wide range of abilities. Before two thousand and one, there were questions if Washington could be one character that was the quote unquote bad guy or villain. This week's film answered that with one of his greatest performances. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and released in two thousand and one, Training Day gives us the story of idealistic cop Jake Hoyt Ethan Hawke in his resurgent role, who is wanting to become a narcotics detective or a narc He is selected by Officer Alonzo Harris Washington to go through a training day to try and make his squad.

3:30 As the day evolves, we see Harris's facade as a decorated, well respected in feared cop fall apart in the ruins of corruption, greed, and lawlessness. Our first clip sets the stage for this day. Our next clip is the first meeting between hoy and Smith in a coffee shop. We hear the coldness that Harris has in the eagerness of hoy This is important because as this film progresses, the Harris's coldness evolves into ruthlessness and Hoyt's eagerness turns into helpless despair. I'm trying to read my paper.

4:15 Please shut up

4:30 last you wouldn't mind not roasting a hot black and white out sooner? Tell me a story white like my story, No, not your story. A story. Since you can't keep your mouth shut long enough for me to read my paper, tell me a story. I don't think I know any stories. You don't know any stories. All right, I'll tell you a story. This is a newspaper, right it's nine but entertaining. That's why I read it, because it entertains me. You won't let me read it, so you entertain me with your boy. Tell me a story right now?

5:08 Go Well, there was a dui stop or DUI stop let me load up my gun a d ui. Oh listen, all right, it's kid. We were on here to watch. Oh me and Debbie. Who's I'm sorry, Debbie Maxwell. My training officer had a female training wosser. Yes, sir, O, okay, all right, so what was you black wife? Wife? It's pretty good, pretty good, Debbie midwatch, go right, all right. Well so it was a real quiet though you never know. That's the point. Go all right, well it was. It was quiet night. We're rolling on van when I'm driving this accurate just a beautiful car comes out of side street all over the media and in excess.

He plays run clean, and so I feel tasked and arrest and I'm I'm belting him in our unit and Debbie's tossing his car. She calls me over to the vehicle and shows me slump thirty eight and two shotguns fully loaded and locked. So she calls our supervisor and I keep searching. I find five hundred grams of meth in the dash. It turns out this duy is unbailed for distribution it's on his way to smoke his ex partner before trial.

6:27 We prevented a murder. You got him. It's amazing. It is that you could be out there with a fine for a year and the most entertaining story that you can come up with to tell me is a drunk stop. But I don't believe you. You tap that,

6:53 you know you tap that, you put in a backseat. Bam, cold X man. I got a wife. You gotta do you do have a yes? Okay? It lines up straight. Let that right to the right of it and to the left of it, or pockets right in those pockets of money looking either one of them paid to build. With most cop films, there is corruption either right in front of our eyes or it is heavily implied. What makes this film different is it is not over the top. It is painfully real and drives this story. Our next two clips are examples of this.

7:35 First, Alonso has to meet a group of officers that call themselves the Wise Men because of their ability to use corruption to get whatever they want. In this meeting, we hear the trouble Alonzo is in. After a disturbing and disgusting story. Then, after Alonso kills someone to take millions. Hiding in his own home, his relationship with Hoyt begins to unravel, but not until Alonzo makes one more attempt to convince Jake that what they are doing is acceptable. Let you see a jam. It's my new guy who works on my squad, Jake Hoyt.

Sensing was today Judge's female, that's right Landers. Yeah, I know Lander's shop lady. So before the hearing, guy gets hold of some peanut butter packs and he's standing tall before and he's waiting to give a statement. So he shoves his hand down his pants, comes out with a gob at extra chunky chief. Bailiffs won't come near him. Now. He's looking to judge right in the eyes, licks his fingers cleaned.

10:21 So Judge says, uh, oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison, orders him to psychiatrist. He fell for it. Yeah, that's because he's smart. Times she found out it was sandwich spared. The order was signed, that guy has been transferred, Proceedings closed, close, freckled. Six months in the puzzle factory. Then they'll call him normal and let him Lose'll ever do a damn prison? Yeah, give him credit though, work the system deserves his freedom. Yeah, so what right, I'll tell you what I'm gonna find this guy on the street and I'm gonna do him.

11:11 You better take his bullets from him, staying Ah, Lonzo, he had an expensive weekend in Vegas. How did you ever screw up so bad? Nothing? It's nothing, forget it. You know, I didn't know. It's not my town. I'm not a Nissian. The Russians don't care if you have a badge. Whack you. You're to hopper jet out of here. Why

If I'm not around, who's gonna keep him off the radar? You, I'm just taxing them? Not so okay, that's your call. I do not want you.

12:09 I do not want to see you on the front page like those others. Yeah, I stood, who's driving me grad Mercedes? Okay? And now hoit? Questions Alonzo? All right, Yeah, it'd be who's you're not the ground? This way? Justifiable on the side, lined to be. Okay, Now, what happened?

13:05 Come my friend? Uh mean why because he knows my first name? Sudden, this is the game. I'm playing his ass. That's my job. That's your job. Rogers sold dope to kids. The world is a better place without him. Hey, this man was the biggest major buyer. Later in Los Angeles, I watched that tsucker operate with impunity for over ten years, and now I got it the ship. Yes, it ain't check us

13:41 what you think are we gonna do? We're gonna roll up in a black and white huh. Slap the cuffs on him. You're under arrest. That's a high roller. Dog take the money. Already told you. I'm not gonna take this. I'm not gonna take that. Hey, don't just burn it, Bob Cue and fish Fried. I don't give But the boys will feel better their feelings. Jake, You're not making them feel like you're part of the team. The team. You guys are insane. All right, I'll go back to the valley. I'll cut parking tickets. You know he can't be like this.

14:21 It is this way, man, I'm sorry I expose you to it, but it is. It's ugly, but it's necessary. I became a cop to put away drug dealers, the poisoners, the criminals, not to be one sounds just like me, and I know what you're going through. I know what you're feeling. You're scared. I'm not scared as you want to terrified. Anybody goes through that. The first time I went through as it the sona. You can match what's in your head.

14:50 That's what's going on in the real world. The better you're gonna feel in this business, you're gonna I'm a little doun on you, queen. Need to trust you and all this is behind you. It's gonna be a home on the world that opens up for you. I walk a high and pass sun, but I can give me the keys to all the doors were

15:18 my guys are pretty good. But then I leaders, then clowns. You're a leading. You want my job? You got it. You want to lock up poisonous. This is the best place to do it, but you gotta just you don't take your time. You may detective and play the game. You grow wise and then you can change things. But you gotta change him from the inside. So let's go down down to the station. You talk to my guys stand and then we'll walk key through. What you gotta say to the da guys. Okay. This film has many great performances and cameos from the aforementioned Hawk, Tom Barringer, Doctor Dre Macy, Gray, Snoop Dogg, and Eva Mendez.

16:19 But no mistake, the performance that is not just the top in this film, but one of the greatest ever is that of Washington. In our final clip. The unraveling of Alonso is complete when men that Alonso allows to illegally operate in a local neighborhood do not take Jake out when he commands them too. He loses all control and gives a speech that many, my self included, feel is one of the most memorable in cinema history. Oh you mother, okay, all right, I'm putting cases on all you. Huh. You think you can do this, Jane,

17:10 You think you can do this to me? Your mothers will be playing basketball and Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. Shoot program twenty three hour Lockdown. I'm the man up in this. You'll never see the light of dude, though you think you I'm the police. I rush you just lift it. Yeah, that's wack. You better walk away. Gonna walk away because I'm gonna burn this down. King Kong ain't got on me.

17:48 This film marked a major turning point for Washington. As I stated before, it proved he could play the villain and do it well. It gave him an added dynamic to his already awe inspiring range, So much so he has went on to play other unscrupulous individuals in other films. While they are great performances, they do not match the verocity and powerhouse performance he gives in this film. This film was a hit. It was the second highest October opening in cinema history, at twenty four point two million its opening weekend.

18:30 The only reason it opened in October is following the September eleven attacks, the film was delayed by a month. It finished with one hundred and four point nine million gross worldwide. It was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor for Hawk and Best Actor for Denzel Washington. Rightfully and Deservingly Washington one for Best Actor. It has spawned a since canceled television series, and a prequel of the film is currently in production. It is timeless and its realness, rawness and unabashed power.

19:13 I would recommend this film to anyone, no matter what films they like. With my highest recommendation, I hope you will join me next week when we will look up to the sky and answer is it a bird? Is it a playing? Well? Maybe, but one thing is for sure. It is the first comic book film blockbuster. We will look at Christopher Reeves in the nineteen seventy eight film Superman the movie for WMNH and Matt Connerton unleashed. This has been a classic film review with Derik Pilcher.

20:00 Guess who's banking Steve? He's still doing that time the show? Yeah, shut me out, it's still trays. Ain't Jane through our phones?
