The Fast and the Furious (2001) screenwriter
David Ayer follows up that fast-paced action hit with this gritty cop drama from director
Antoine Fuqua.
Ethan Hawke stars as
Jake Hoyt, a fresh-faced Los Angeles Police Department rookie anxious to join the elite narcotics squad headed up by 13-year veteran
Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (
Denzel Washington).
Harris has agreed to give
Hoyt a shot at joining his team with a one-day ride-along during which
Hoyt must prove his mettle. As the day wears on, however, it becomes increasingly clear to the greenhorn that his experienced mentor has blurred the line between right and wrong to an alarming degree, enforcing his own morally compromised code of ethics and street justice. As he struggles with his conscience, an increasingly alarmed
Hoyt begins to suspect that he's not really being given an audition at all; he's being set up as the fall guy in an elaborate scheme.
Training Day co-stars
Tom Berenger,
Scott Glenn, and recording artists
Snoop Dogg,
Dr. Dre, and
Macy Gray.
