Training Day 2001
He runs shit around here. We just live here.
A cultural icon, it is one of those films that points out the power of acting. Denzel delivered such a prominent performance alongside Ethan Hawke as two police officers with different ends of philosophical morality, two wolves with principles.

In this context, calling this a social commentary is almost an understatement. What you saw, could be a peek into what we might get ourselves into. Fighting for rights, seeking out the truth through bullets and belief, after manifesto…
