Training Day (2001)

Also Known As:
Día de Entrenamiento

Tagline:
The only thing more dangerous than the line being crossed, is the cop who will cross it.

Directed by
Antoine Fuqua

Plot summary:
Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) begins his training as a narcotics cop with veteran Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) as his mentor. Things begin shakily as Jake prepares to check in at the station for roll call before Alonzo calls him and tells him to skip that and to meet him at a restaurant. Alonzo tells Jake that they're "going to the office," but "the office" turns out to nothing more than Alonzo's spiffy car. Thus we're instantly cut off from any other authority figure besides Alonzo. It feels slightly shady, but now we're completely and totally in Alonzo's hands. Alonzo proves intimidating at best and downright scary at worst. Jake tries his best to be friendly, but Alonzo verbally knocks him on his behind, warning him that to show the slightest hint of warmth on the street can be fatal.
Alonzo shows Jake around town, taking him on a drug bust, making him smoke dope as a test of his street credibility, taking him to see a fellow cop (Scott Glenn) and a drug dealer (Snoop Dogg), searching a strange woman's (Macy Gray's) house, and visiting his own girlfriend (Eva Mendes) for a noontime romp. The day drags on, Jake trying to shake off his drug-induced haze and also a growing sense of fear. With each stop Alonzo makes, a sinister plan comes more and more into focus. [source: Jeffrey M.
