Training Day

As a Los Angeles police detective gone bad, Denzel Washington is so determined to put the heroic characters of his past behind him that he turns this one into a villainous cartoon. All of his trademarks – his authoritative speech pattern, that unwavering stare – are turned inside out here and amplified, to less than satisfactory results. Of course he won an Oscar.
