Why did Denzel bring a rookie he never met along with him on his crime spree? His plan would have worked without him.
It was training day.
He tested him to see if he was corruptable. When he realized he wasn't he sent them to the hispanics to be killed.
Seems like the worst possible time to take a risk like that
What's he supposed to do? Tell his boss that he's not training him as required? Kill him the first day on the job?
>I'll take him on a Training Day™ tomorrow
Simple as.
it was his plan to set him up the entire time dummy
guess i have to rewatch it. i don't remember
"I've been planning this all week, son."
It was his plan B if Jake cant be corrupted. He didnt anticipate Jake saving the girl would have save him from Smiley.
it was a test if he can corrupt jake
he already has a warrant and the backing of his boys to kill roger. He literally explained in the same scene how can he get away with it.
>have a shitty weekend
>frick around with the russian mob and you're about to find out
>to top it all off, THE BOSS SENT YOU A NEW GUY TO TRAIN
what the frick
He was disposable.
Didn’t he need him to pin the shooting of the boomer drug dealer on him?
His plan would have worked if not for Ethan saving smileys cousin. Otherwise Denzel planned it perfectly.
What if he was just like yeah i get my shit pushed in all the time and had a big mexican gangbang, Denzel couldn't have seen that one coming.
This except he has IBS and his shit refuses to stay pushed in and he makes a huge mess.
Haha that would be weird. Boy I'm glad they didn't do that in the movie.
He didn't expect the rookie to be a moralgay to the extent that he was. In case you missed it, Alfonso was extremely jaded.
this was based on a true story. only in real life all the rampart cops were criminals lmao they only got busted because one undercover shot another undercover over road rage
denzel needs his drug dealer friend's money to pay the russians. he needs a scapegoat for taking his money and killing him so he doesn't talk. the scapegoat is a rookie high on angel dust and beer
his plan wouldn't have worked without the rookie
Denzel had a warrant so it wouldn't matter who shot him
It would matter because without a fresh face's story corroborating with the rest of his squad, it just looks like they walked in and shot the guy for no reason.
What happens to the rest of the corrupt cops on Alonzo's team? I was sure there was going to be some offhand line about Jake forwarding evidence to internal affairs or something but they just sort of stop existing after their designated scene.
Weird plot hole. The 3 wise men and those other cops would definitely be out to kill Jake at this point
>It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Alonzo died a hero in the public's eye. One of the themes of the movie are truth and credibility.
What was the significance of the news cast at the end saying he died serving a warrant? They could have swayed public opinion more if they just told the truth that he was gunned down by a gang driving down the road.
wise men covered it up most likely they had serious power. berenger literally tells him he doesn't want to see him on the front page the next day killed by the Russians
The movie doesn't end with Jake being in the clear. He's still going to get drug tested as far as we know.
At least he still fricks his wife face to face
what proof did he have? Alonzo was killed by the Russians. you think those nogs in the jungle or smiley is going to back Jake up in court? tf lol
Yeah he’s pretty much powerless. He saw all their faces and saw them all committing crimes. Alonzo only brought him around because he was either going to come into the fold or be killed. Or Alonzo was going to die and not care either way. The next morning when they all found out Jake was alive and Alonzo was dead they’d be scrambling to kill Jake
why did ethan smoke instead of getting out of the car?
I just watched this last night for the first time. Absolute fricking denzel kino. Finished Equalizer which was great and Glory which was fricking awful. Anymore denzel recommendions?
American Gangster
Yeh saw that one too, very good.
I will add them to the list. What about the one where he plays Malcolm x? I think if anyone can do it justice it would probably be denzel
Malcolm X was an incredible film, yes. Definitely check that one out.
Yeah, that brotha's starvin
“Crimson Tide”
“Fallen”
Crimson Tide is one of his best movies tbh. Kino soundtrack too.

he wasn't a rookie. rookies don't make the narcotic squad
