As Jake goes through training to become a policeman, he slowly realizes that Alonzo isn't quite the guy he should be.
In another Denzel Washington movie, Man on Fire, he plays Creasy, a body guard for a little girl named Pita who was kidnapped. The kidnapper wants his brother that Creasy had kidnapped in exchange for the little girl's life, but the kidnapper wants Creasy's life, so he agrees. In Training Day he plays the bad guy and in Man on Fire he plays the good guy, showing that he can do both.
Training Day is similar to many film noirs because it has a bad cop as the main character. I like these movies because most cops are good guys and want to help you. But in these movies they are doing illegal activity just like other people do, which shows that you can't always expect good guys to be good.
