Netflix Nugget - Week of January 18th

TRAINING DAY
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Writers: David Ayer
Stars: Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawk, Scott Glen
IMDB.com Page

Synopsis: In Los Angeles, a city where streets are overrun by drug dealers, those who have sworn to uphold the law are breaking them to clean up the streets. Denzel Washington plays L.A.P.D. detective Alonzo Harris, a veteran narcotics officer whose methods of enforcing the law are questionable, if not corrupt. 'Training Day' follows Harris as he trains rookie Jake Hoyt over a 24-hour period. Ethical dilemmas arise for Hoyt as well as the audience as questions present themselves as to whether or not Harris' methodology for ridding the streets of South Central Los Angeles of drugs is right or wrong.

Why We Suggest It: If you haven't seen this movie from 2001 now is your chance to do so and you REALLY should.  The movie doesn't stick to your typical Hollywood Cop movie cliche's or involve a love story interwoven through out its plot.  Instead Training Day delivers a brutal story of crooked cops and a fresh trainee.  Not to mention Denzel Washington won the award for Best Actor for this film so why not watch?!  You won't be disappointed.
