Dark Blue vs Narc vs Training Day

Not seen Narc so Training Day then Dark Blue.

1. Training Day - This is one of those movies that I've seen literally 50 times and I'm still not sick of watching it.
2. Narc - Liotta's and Patric's performances were great.
3. Dark Blue - Well, it was okay.

C'mon you gotta be kidding me.. Training Day

The Dark Blue - Cuz of Kurt Russel

Narc - I don't like Jason Patric. Violence was great though

"Haven't seen "Narc" but "Dark Blue" is decent and better than "Training Day". "Training Day" was bad. An expirienced cop who took year to develop a web of corruption and reveals all of it to a ROOKIE IN ONE DAY? *beep* ridiculous, man."


Apparently you didn't pay attention to detail in this movie. This was a make or break day for the rookie. He had 2 choices that day, he either was going to join in on the corruption or choose not to..

The thing you have to understand though is this, the experienced corrupt veteran cop had it in his mind the whole time that the rookie was going to either join him and his boys in the corruption, or DIE.

So why not reveal everything to him if your plan is to rub him out if he doesn't cooperate.

Things just didn't work out as he planned...

SJI, if you dont understand why denzel told hawke(the rookie cop) about everything in one day in Training Day, then you desperately need to watch it again. There was a lot of reason behind that that you obviously didnt get, according to your post.


1. Training Day- unrealistic in terms of the cop work used in the movie, but if you can just enjoy the parts where denzel is in shoot outs instead of questioning why hes not filling out 3 months of paper work for firing his gun, then you will love the movie. ive seen this movie upward of 20 times and it never gets old. its in my top 5 list and spawned my 2nd favorite quote ever from a movie...."my nigah"....favorite quote being, "i only came here to do 2 things, drink some beer and kick some azz, beers almost gone"

2. Narc- i just got done watching this like 5 minutes ago for the 1st time and it was a very solid movie

3. Dark Blue- sucked bad, acting sucked bad, i only watched like an hour of it be4 i turned it off

1st place: Narc, because it was the most original, realistic, and entertaining.
2nd place: Training Day, becuase it was more original and cinematic than Dark Blue.
3rd place: Dark Blue, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good as the other two.

My Criminal Justice teacher always raved about the Shield, saying its the most realistic cop show out there.

RON SHELTON RUINED THIS *beep* MOVIE. It was a great script with a great cast.

I would say training day & narc are on the same level(equally superb performances but ethan hawke's rookie idealist cop is a little bit better than the fmr. UC cop so training day edges it out a little:

1) training day
1b) Narc
2) L.A. confidential
3)dark blue

thought i'd thrown in L.A. confidential since it is a good cop movie set in the true glory of hollywood and that dark blue was good up to a point( holding together were the performances of kurt russell & scott speedman)
