It’s weird. Seeing ppl so ignorant, in a way. I get you haven’t seen the movie in the first few years. Can’t afford theaters, for one. But, haven’t seen movies because……
Denzel is extraordinary in this movie. The way he makes you want to root for him the whole time through sheer charisma "maybe he has a reason" "Well maybe the profession has jaded him" "just teaching him a lesson". Then he reaches a point where you realize he's just a piece of shit and suddenly you want Hawke to get revenge. Yet you can't help but feel a little sad at the end when he's shot down. Great movie, great reaction!
I completely agree with you except the last part. By the end I had no sympathy for him. At that point it just seemed like street justice where all his bad deeds caught up with him
SPOILER FOR INVINCIBLE I just binge'd Invincible the other weekend and I felt exactly what you were saying about Ominman in that show 🤣 for like 80% of the show i was like, surely there's a reason..
I mean he's actually a sociopath. If you look up common traits for sociopaths he fits a lot of them. Combined with a system that clearly didn't care and let him get away with what he did. Maybe he didn't start out so bad but somewhere along the line he got worse and worse.
It’s hard watching y’all go through all these tech issues because It’s clear y’all are passionate and try hard to entertain us. Thank you for keeping us entertained. Good luck with the tech
@@Jaybeast5x Naw, this was on TV a fair bit at one point so most people have seen it but there's a lot of movies that get no air time that most people will never see. Normally, it's because of one scene being R+ rated and being essential to the plot of the movie but there's a bunch of good movies you'll pass by every year. I never saw North by Northwest on tv but it's a pretty fun average Joe becomes James Bond kinda movie 10 years before that series even started. I doubt Holden's ever seen that movie and hundreds of others either.
This shows how Denzel has tons of charisma. He's playing his most evil character and Jen and Holden are just laughing and giggling at lots of his antics, like "Oh Denzel, is he drinking and driving, hee hee hee!"
…I nearly fell of my chair when Holden said “I recognised Terry Crews from the back of his head” and Jen responded “do you know how weird that sounds” and back to Holden’s uncomfortable “hahaha” 😂😂 you made my day guys 👏…
I love watching Holden react to Jens movies, it’s honestly a nice change of pace every once in a while. It’s also really fun to watch her lead the videos and Holden being the one getting the raw reaction as someone who doesn’t know what’s actually happening.
There was a Training Day tv series that aired a couple years ago starring Bill Paxton in reverse white guy durty cop Denzel lead. It was actually very very good, but he had his emergency heart issue and unfortunately died on the table before they could come back for a 2nd season. It makes me wanna cry writing this because I adored bill as an actor and this was his last role in his career. It's a fantastic 1st and only 1 season of this series. I would suggest checking it out privately. I think you two would love it. RIP Bill Paxton. 😢
When the studio originally came up with the idea for the Training Day tv series they went to Ethan Hawke for the lead. They wanted him to play his original character Jake Hoyt, but they wanted him to have been 20 years older and be the villain of the series. They wanted his character to turn into Alonzo. But Hawke turned them down and they created the Bill Paxton character.
Yes love this. This is what Denzel won his Oscar for. This was actually based on the Rampart Division police dept. in Los Angeles, Denzel’s character was a real cop.
Given Holden’s opinion on corrupt cops I’d be curious to see his reaction to Street Kings which is written and directed by David Ayer, the writer of Training Day, and a similar setting/story, and has a great performance by Keanu Reeves. A lot of people aren’t huge fans of it, but I think it’s a great follow up to Training Day.
Wow no one talks about this movie, very underrated. Funny enough I was able to see it at a movie screening, really enjoyed it. When it finally came out though they had changed a decent amount of the ending, not for the better. I really wish I could remember specifics, but the changes were justice league level of changes; almost made it a different movie. I enjoyed the hell out of the one I saw, not so much with the theatrical.
@@theheadsn if i recall correctly, trying not to spoil - one thing i read about the ending that they changed is that originally the character we see him challenge at the end also turned out to be related to his wife’s death he mentioned earlier? Think that would have been too convenient though.
7:23 - 7:26 Possibly insignificant correction, but that's actually Scott Glenn who played Roger in Training Day and Stick in Daredevil (2015). David Carradine passed away in 2009.
Back when this came out, I thought it was total fiction. These days, I am no longer certain. It's a great film, and I think it has a lot of truth about what power does to people. Also, Cypress Hill's 'Rock Superstar' is such an epic song. Hadn't heard it in years.
@@chrischeatham8314 this was the movie that showed everyone denzel can play evil, no one thought he could prior...he was so good he got an academy award for it
its ironic because both ethan and denzel were known to be the "good guys" actors with both ended up playing bad guys and winning awards for it ..ethan did very well as the villian in moon knight and got many awards for it same as denzel for traning day
"Martha went to prison too," Jen's belly laugh was priceless! The end of this movie is SO ELECTRIC! My husband agrees with you and your dad about dirty Cops. My dad had recommended we watch "The Shield" with Michael Chiklis. He couldn't even finish watching the show because it infuriated him so much of all the levels of dirty the cops were.
Glad you all enjoyed this so much, it's a certified classic for good reason. There's a deleted scene where Alonzo monologues about his early years on the job that's an award-winning scene in its own. Understandable why it was taken out but a great scene nonetheless.
David Ayer made another great cop film called "End of Watch" it has a stacked cast I think y'all would love it. Great reaction btw hope the power issues get better.
“End of watch” is basically what would happen if a bunch of young, idealistic, LAPD cops ALL tried to be like “Jake”- only without being feared and experienced like “Alonzo”
@@Journeyman.71 throughout the movie guys kept telling those kids they were out of their league and they needed to chill out. Guys higher up than THEY were didn’t even mess with cartels!- but being young made them feel too invincible.
"you gotta control your smiles and cries, because that's all you have, and no one can take it away from you." One of my favorite lines of dialogue, and pure facts in this environment.
Antoine Fuqua also directed Tears of the Sun, Shooter, both Equalizer films and the Magnificent Seven remake. Similar films to watch are We Own the Night, End of Watch, American Gangster and Street Kings. The dealer Alonzo shoots isn't David Carradine, but the same actor who played Jodie Foster's supervisor in Silence of the Lambs. Alonzo's mistress is played by Eva Mendes
If you listen to Alonzo talk about himself, and how some of the people who’ve known him a while talk about him, you realize that he was once green and naive and idealistic. He undoubtedly had his own “Training Day” experience that made him more cynical and ruthless . The irony is that he was probably VERY effective at his job before turning to straight up corruption. Denzel gave a powerhouse performance, completely disappearing into his character. He definitely deserved his best actor Oscar for this role.
This was a great switch reaction and an the right movie for it. I love how Jen does the Easter egg part in a movie and loved that Holden really liked the movie. I agree with Holden that the police shouldn't really "policing" our communities but rather to be a service to us, i definitely support that. Thanks for this great reactions my dudes, love from NJ.
7:22 to be fair Scott Glenn does look a bit like Carradine, and they were like 4 years apart in age, and Carradine died in 2009 8 years after this movie, so kinda understandable haha
This movie has a few Marvel characters in it. Ethan Hawke aka Harrow (Moon Knight) Scott Glenn aka Stick (Daredevil/Defenders) Eva Mendes aka Roxanne (Ghost Rider) Terry Crews aka Bedlam (Deadpool 2)
I saw that movie in the theater back in 2001. I remember leaving it asking, “Is this the first time Denzel Washing’s ever played a bad guy?”. I was telling people, you have to see this movie. The scene where he beat up the two crack heads, the scene where he used the fake search warrant. When I was in college, one Spanish guy who was kind of ghetto said, the way the character of Alonzo was was the way real police officers should be. What’s sad is that before body cameras came out is the way police officers were, now most of them are like Ethan Hawke until they forget they are being recorded like those cops in Tennessee.
I love this film because it's really about your morals and principles. Jake and Lonzo literally live and die by them. Also this is really Denzel's first true villain role so watching the first time in theaters everyone was waiting for him to not be that evil. We were waiting for the twist and that he was undercover. Also Jake's actions and taking the higher route made him such a strong character the true definition of a Square with an Edge.
I was in the theater and we were not waiting for that. You might have been, but I don't remember doubting for one second that he was the villain of this story.
Denzel once said in an interview, that he would only agree to playing this character if he would die in the end. He couldn’t justify someone so messed up surviving in end. That’s also why his death is so violent, it’s like all his f up stuff caught up with him.
The boy on the couch with Macy Gray played in the first scene of Black Panther. Denzel's character is based on an actual crooked cop. He talked about how despicable the character was. He actually avoided his family while playing this role.
Training Day is amazing, the atmosphere is so thick you can taste it. You really feel danger is around the corner throughout the movie which makes sense given it's in the hood. It all takes place in 1 day and Denzel Washington plays one of the best corrupt cops I've seen, he really becomes Alonzo and his Oscar win was deserved. The supporting cast is also good with Ethan Hawke, Eva Mendes, Scott Glenn, Cliff Curtis, Snoop Dogg and even Dr Dre to name a few. One of my favourite crime thrillers!
The movie is loosely based off of some real accounts with the Los Angeles Police Department (Rampart Division) and Rafael Perez (Denzel’s character) during the 90s before Perez along with many other officers being indicted.
Funny story, Denzel teenage son was the one who read the script for the movie (he must have dozens if not hundreds of scripts lying around the house) DAD YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ONE, LONZO IS A BAD ASS PART! Or something like that.
One of my all time favourite movies. Denzel is untouchable in this film and the pacing is SO good. Great acting all around, great soundtrack, great story.
Such a great movie, and same with the reaction! First time I saw it I hated it. Like Jen mentioned, I wasn't used to seeing Denzel in that kind of role. That's after seeing it years later that I realized how great it was. As you mentioned, every step on the way is well put in place, from now being sure how bad Alonzo is to the twist that saved Jake in the end, without forgetting the PCP bit. Thanks for the video and cheers from France! 🍻
This is just one of those great films, both Ethan Hawke and Denzel give such great performances. I’ve seen it such few times because Villain Denzel is so unsettling but it’s definitely something to see.
Great movie and video reaction! I have read articles saying that Denzel would only accept this role if his character died at the end and so they changed the scripted ending. It says a lot about Denzel and the improv line at the end is probably what got him the Oscar too!
5:53 that's hilarious - I've watched about 5 reactions to this film over the past year, and this was the one and only time I quoted Wayne Brady as he hit the brakes, and you guys are the only ones who inserted that scene from Chapelle Show!! 😂
Love this movie, one of the greatest crime thrillers movies of all time and one of the greatest movie villains of all time in Denzel which won him and Oscar and an also amazing performance by Ethan which got him nominated for an Oscar... 9/10
FUN FACT: Terry Crews was only watching the scene being made from a distance, someone noticed him and invited him in to be a thug. Heard him talk about it in a podcast somewhere... Justin Long podcast i think
Awesome reaction! Both of you were awesome as always and it being a My husband watches was a nice change! The only thing that could have made it better is if when Holden asks "are they arresting him" if Jen had said "Who's to say". Would have been the best of call backs lol. Great film and great take on it!

Yeah End of Watch is an amazing movie.

End of Watch AND Harsh Times with Christian Bale
Same guy who was a former LAPD officer who now Screenwriter and director of End Of Watch.
Denzel won the Academy Award for his performance !!!🏆
American Gangster, The Hurricane, Malcolm x, Glory, Book of Eli, or the Equalizer. So much in this man’s rooster.
You guys should definitely do "Man on Fire" next. Tha's another one of Denzel's strongest performances and just great, intense film.
My favourite movie
Cough *American Gangster* cough
@@zackmeaney2800 the equalizer films are also great
People truly liked that film in the USA?.
Was gonna say John Q which gonna make you cry.
My my, how the tables have turned. Training Day is a dope movie, gave Denzel the Oscar for Best Actor. Watched it with my brother and it's great
fun fact: the scene with denzel putting the guns down that guys crotch was ethan's genuine reaction
It makes me strangely happy that Holden is the one who hasn’t seen this. Such a classic and an all time performance from Denzel.
KING KONG ain't got shit on me is still one of my favourite lines in movie history 😂😂 bravo denzel 👏👏

I thought this movie was all about the smiles and cries?!?!
I was in the theater and we were not waiting for that. You might have been, but I don't remember doubting for one second that he was the villain of this story.
In the Macy Gray scene, Dimitri is played by Denzel Whitaker who later goes on to portray a young Zuri/Uncle James in Black Panther.
Denzel once said in an interview, that he would only agree to playing this character if he would die in the end. He couldn’t justify someone so messed up surviving in end. That’s also why his death is so violent, it’s like all his f up stuff caught up with him.
"...it’s like all his f up stuff caught up with him."

5:53 that's hilarious - I've watched about 5 reactions to this film over the past year, and this was the one and only time I quoted Wayne Brady as he hit the brakes, and you guys are the only ones who inserted that scene from Chapelle Show!! 😂
"Man on Fire" is another great one I'd recommend
Denzel performance in training day might be the best ever
I love this movie . I love Antoine Fuqua (director) movies . Oscar winner Denzel is and was Amazing!
Denzel is my favorite actor and one of the greatest of all time. These shows his genius acting prowess. Amazing movie.
The Chapelle’s Show cut 😂 that’s one of the funniest skits
The equalizer is must watch
Masterpiece ever. Greatness
Love this movie, one of the greatest crime thrillers movies of all time and one of the greatest movie villains of all time in Denzel which won him and Oscar and an also amazing performance by Ethan which got him nominated for an Oscar... 9/10
This was great the fact that you hadn't seen this great movie and she had made this a more worthwhile watch.
I woke up, had a notification for my Husband Watches Training Day, and didn’t even get out of bed! This is a great movie, glad y’all liked it!
Denzel the greatest actors of all time he nail this movie hard awesome .
FUN FACT: Terry Crews was only watching the scene being made from a distance, someone noticed him and invited him in to be a thug. Heard him talk about it in a podcast somewhere... Justin Long podcast i think
Denzel's best role IMO
Awesome reaction! Both of you were awesome as always and it being a My husband watches was a nice change! The only thing that could have made it better is if when Holden asks "are they arresting him" if Jen had said "Who's to say". Would have been the best of call backs lol. Great film and great take on it!
Inside Man would make for a fun Denzel reaction if either Jen or Holden haven't seen it.
Inside Man was an awesome movie,really enjoyed it.
I want to give Boston the biggest hug
You guys need to watch Swordfish with Hugh Jackman, John Travolta and Halle Berry
I wonder how many times Scott Glenn gets mistaken for David Carradine lol 🤔
“Oh where, oh where has my little Jake gone , oh where, oh where can he be” 😂😂😂
Classic film. All actors gave a fantastic performance. The black cop with the cornrows named "Paul" is Dr Dre.
20:48 “Just make sure that bathtub is clean.”
That’s the biggest foreshadow to have ever foreshadowed.
Jesus christ, what a great movie.
After watching this I would recommend Street Kings with Keanu Reeves, Chris Evans, Forest Whitaker
