Review of Training Day

Training Day (2001)
7/10
Standards of justice differ from person to person
11 November 2022
A newbie narcotic offiecer, Jake's justice is depicted in contradistinction to Alonzo, a veteran officer. I was overwhelmed by Alonzo's power harassment and didn't feel good with Jake who tends to be swayed by Alonzo at first. However, who can expect what happens in the last part? How can a face change so much only in a day?

Alonzo does even illegal things to catch the big bad guys, so he is depicted as a corrupt cop because the story is told from Jake's perspective. However, I wonder if you can say that his justice is 100% wrong.

I don't think that idea of "fight one evil with another" is wrong. Also, his idea that catching the main source is the most important makes sense, I feel.

I never say that he is right. But I found that he has his own justice and belief. He abused his power, so it caused to dig his own grave.

But I believe that he really said that he hates the bad guys who give children drugs. The problem was only that he corrupted and chose wrong ways, but he had his own justice?

It reminds me LA version of "The Blood of Wolves".
