英文導讀

Training Day is a 2001 American crime drama film directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by David Ayer, and starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. The story follows two Los Angeles Police Department narcotics detectives over a 24-hour period in the gang neighborhoods of South and East Los Angeles.

Everyday there is a war being waged on America's inner city streets—a war between residents, drug dealers and the people sworn to protect one from the other. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a fresh-faced Los Angeles Police Department rookie anxious to join the elite narcotics squad headed up by 13-year veteran Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris has agreed to give Hoyt a shot at joining his team with a oneday ride-along during which Hoyt must prove his mettle. As the day wears on, however, it becomes increasingly clear to the greenhorn that his experienced mentor has blurred the line between right and wrong to an alarming degree, enforcing his own morally compromised code of ethics and street justice. As he struggles with his conscience, an increasingly alarmed Hoyt begins to suspect that he's not really being given an audition at all; he's being set up as the fall guy in an elaborate scheme. Training Day co-stars Tom Berenger, Scott Glenn, and recording artists Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Macy Gray.

The review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 72% of critics gave positive reviews based on 152 reviews. Roger Ebert gave the film three-out-of-four stars, praising both the lead and supporting actors and the film's gritty, kinetic energy.

The film was released in theaters on October 5, 2001, and was a box office hit, landing at the first. At its second week of release, the film's gross revenue was$13,386,457, landing again in the first position. The film stayed in the top-ten box office until the seventh week of release, landing at the 12nd. With an estimated budget of $45 million, Training Day ultimately grossed$76,631,907 domestically and $104,876,233 worldwide.

Denzel Washington won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2001, notably beating out Russell Crowe's performance as John Nash for A Beautiful Mind, and the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain in 2002 for his performance in Training Day, and Ethan Hawke was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2001 for the film.

制作花絮

影片按故事時間順序拍攝而成。

阿隆佐向杰克展示的早年照片是丹澤爾·華盛頓在《天危絕網》中的劇照。阿隆佐的座駕是一輛經過改裝的1979年雪佛蘭蒙特卡洛。

加里·西尼斯和湯姆·塞茲摩爾曾拒絕扮演阿隆佐。布魯斯·威利斯曾是扮演阿隆佐的最初人選。

在安東尼·福奎阿擔綱導演之前，戴維斯·古根海姆曾是本片導演的最初人選，而當時選定的兩位主演是塞繆爾·杰克遜和馬特·達蒙。

托比·馬奎爾曾有望扮演片中杰克，他甚至跟隨洛杉磯的緝毒密探體驗生活長達2個月，并特地為扮演角色增重，后來由于導演?？幦〉搅艘辽?middot;霍克，所以馬奎爾最終無緣本片。

真正的黑幫成員曾在片中拋頭露面。
