That doesn&#8217;t happen that often I must say.  And even when it does, like in this movie, he does not immediately appear as a bad guy.  He is a kind of confused or maybe with slightly messed up limits of acceptable.  He acts good anyway.  The usual kind of good.<\/p>\n<p>The movie touches on an interesting topic of what is good and what is bad.  Like in that South Park episode that asked questions like &#8220;Would you kill you father to save your mother?&#8221;.  In fact this time they were slightly more realistic.  How far can cops bend the rules to get bad guys&#8230; and along these lines.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the film is pretty good and deserves a solid 7 out of 10.  Rent it for a Sunday night.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Watched &#8220;Training Day&#8221; on TV.
