Director: David Ayer
Language: English

"Training Day" director David Ayer's tale of a tank crew on the Western front in the fading days of World War II falls squarely between Sam Peckinpah's "Cross of Iron" and Stephen Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" — it's got that same sense of elegiac fatalism and moral quandary. Brad Pitt plays a brutal, callous tank commander in this intense, gory film that may have its cliched Hollywood moments but is never dull.
