I'm a pretty big fan of this movie too, but the thing that is so great about it isnt the detail of the story by the premise it creates in relation to the power police hold, expecially in the grim world depicted within the film. Because of this ive totally scrapped that huge bit about the specific twists and turns of the movie and broken it down to (hopefully) its core without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, and also to respect that this is an encyclopaedia, not a fan-site.

This article was clearly written by a big fan of this movie, and, quite frankly, it reads a bit immaturely in comparision to Wik standards. Hey, I loved this movie, too. Denzel was amazing, kept me wondering at every turn, I think I probably enjoyed this movie as much as whoever wrote this. But a Wik article should not betray the writer's giddiness over a movie (or anything else, for that matter).

One other thing: for the life of me, I can't figure out what purpose the "Quotes" section serves here. Some fan thought that there was some cool dialogue, and so therefore included it. I'm going to come back in a few days. Without finding an adequate explanation of that sections, I'm just going to delete it as irrelevant. Unschool 13:37, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

"The Story" section is badly in need of paragraph breaks. mhunter 07:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I changed the story section to reflect the outline of the story, while trying to maintain an NPOV view of the movie. Sledgeh101 02:54, 20 February (UTC)

[edit] OR

There seems to be way to much unsourced apparant OR in the "Best Actor Academy Award controversy" section. Could someone knowledgeable please source it or delete it? 84.238.28.62 23:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Correctamundo, there is unsourced OR here -- Delete this section. If someone wants to accuse Hollywood of being racist let them do it in the Hollywood page, or in the Racism page, or in the Nappy Headed Ho page or someplace else. This section adds little, if anything to the fine movie, Training Day.

[edit] Minor Modifications

“Infuriated at being set up”

I merely want to remark on this particular sentence. Is it a fair assumption to assert that Jake was fueled by his rage of being set-up? Because I can easily advocate that the reason behind Jake’s desire to catch Alonzo was just to defy everything that he had taught him that day. Jake looks like the typical family guy who will not put his life in danger for revenge; this is just a theory that I firmly believe it should be considered.
