Although corruption in L.A.'s C.R.A.S.H. unit was yet to be exposed when Training Day was written, Antoine Fuqua has stated that the emergence of the Rampart Scandal in the late 1990s catalyzed the completion of the film. Denzel Washington also grew a beard in order to emulate the appearance of Rafael Pérez, an LAPD narcotics officer involved in multiple scandals. Fuqua wanted Washington's character to be seductive and part of a machine, and not just a random rogue cop. In Washington's own words: "I think in some ways he's done his job too well. He's learned how to manipulate, how to push the line further and further, and, in the process, he's become more hard-core than some of the guys he's chasing."

Denzel Washington. At first glance, this is an ordinary action movie about American police officers. But this is only at first glance. In reality, everything turns out to be much deeper and more serious. We see the harsh everyday life, the life of the streets, the life of the criminal neighborhoods of America. Translated to English
Oh and ah! What a brutal crime gun. A tense thriller built on rich dualism. But damn, here you end already on the initial track of Dr. Dre, the style is so rushing. Translated to English
The best thing Fuqua shot and Eyre wrote. From the first there is high-quality direction with a constant escalation of tension, from the other a harsh police story about the conflict between an unprincipled cynic in the person of the wonderful Washington and the naive idealist Hawke. Good dialogues, interesting thoughts. Translated to English
An intense crime thriller with excellent acting and an interesting, albeit simple plot. Denzel played here just a ten. I love this feeling of the streets and the city, some tactility in the details, I don’t know how to put it into words, but it’s there. Translated to English
A great role for Denzel, who suits the roles of charismatic bastards much better than righteous ones. Excellent tense direction from Fuqua and confused but organic Hawke. A few years later, the guys from Rockstar will be inspired by this film when creating GTA San Andreas. My nigga! Translated to English
No spoilers. If Denzel Washington pisses you off, this movie will piss you off even more. Translated to English
Fuqua’s best film, strong acting by Washington and Hawke. And an interesting twisted story about corrupt police officers. Already a classic. Translated to English
The questions that ask the vast majority of the film: «Is this all one big test of the green cop?» or «What really motivates Hawk’s partner?» Overall, an exciting crime thriller that brings the main characters to its logical conclusion. 7.5 out of 10. Translated to English
What a day! Excellent script work by Eyre (the police are his strong point) and, of course, 100% hit with the cast. Moreover, this is one of the first films inspired by the scandal surrounding the Rampart police unit. Authentic. Translated to English
An excellent psychological police thriller, one of the best representatives of the genre. It all starts quite slowly, but after that the tension increases and the situation gets tense… Washington and Hawk burn and give birth to a wonderful duet. Translated to English
