What a day: briefly; this LAPD Police Officer Jake Hoyt [Ethan Hawke:] he is a good man which just wants to do his best takes this new job opportunity in narcotics; But his partner LAPD Det. Alonzo Harris [Denzel Washington:] he is a loose cannon and this is just the first day of their partnership.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 122 minutes film is functional, I mean it does get better but for the first section it is really slow out there is that much going on.

Action and comedy; the action is very much the kind of things that you would expect from this crime streets film title and one chasing down sequence involving a wheelchair this was funny [just cover my back; I can find this funny because I am disabled and in one.]

Character developments and performance; broadly speaking they are on both counts; good versions of what they are meant to be, complemented with good chemistry throughout this cast. But I should imagine you know where I am heading with this; between LAPD Det. Harris/Washington and LAPD Police Officer Hoyt; we have this whole without saying too much; this too long in the streets and/versus fresh meat to the streets thing/chemistry going on which is excellently executed by both members of this partnership. Just something a little bit different there are a number of musicians that in some way or another have/appear in this film such as for one example; B-Real [from Cypress Hill: I think actually I am pretty sure he is in this section of the film where the viewers hear "Superstar" released 2000,] I have just looked it up just to make sure he is in this film roughly where I am indicating.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as I have already indicated it just felt a bit longer than what it actually is and not much for the first heavy amount of this title goes on, but if you're a fan of either Washington or/and Hawke take a look at this film it is good enough for a one-time viewing or/and if you haven't seen it for a long time, I fall into the category of one-time viewing as I have never seen it before until now. This film does have some awards to its name such as 18 Winners that includes Academy Awards, USA 2002 Oscars Best Actor in a Leading Role Denzel Washington and 18 Nominees from the same award ceremony/event Best Actor in a Supporting Role Ethan Hawke
