    英文导读

    Training Day is a 2001 American crime drama film directed by Antoine Fuqua, written by David Ayer, and starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. The story follows two Los Angeles Police Department narcotics detectives over a 24-hour period in the gang neighborhoods of South and East Los Angeles.

    Everyday there is a war being waged on America's inner city streets—a war between residents, drug dealers and the people sworn to protect one from the other. 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 oneday 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.

    The review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 72% of critics gave positive reviews based on 152 reviews. Roger Ebert gave the film three-out-of-four stars, praising both the lead and supporting actors and the film's gritty, kinetic energy.

    The film was released in theaters on October 5, 2001, and was a box office hit, landing at the first. At its second week of release, the film's gross revenue was$13,386,457, landing again in the first position. The film stayed in the top-ten box office until the seventh week of release, landing at the 12nd. With an estimated budget of $45 million, Training Day ultimately grossed$76,631,907 domestically and $104,876,233 worldwide.

    Denzel Washington won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2001, notably beating out Russell Crowe's performance as John Nash for A Beautiful Mind, and the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain in 2002 for his performance in Training Day, and Ethan Hawke was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2001 for the film.

    剧情简介

    警官杰克·霍伊特被晋升到了美国洛杉矶警察局的毒品缉查部,经验丰富的黑人警官阿隆佐·哈里斯(丹泽尔·华盛顿 饰)是霍伊特的长官,负责教杰克一些基本的规条和知识。阿洛佐是美国毒品缉查部的黑人警探,经验丰富,查案出色,对毒品案件有着敏锐的嗅觉。人称“魔幻之眼”。

    影片讲述的是霍伊特第一天工作的经历,即新人的“训练日”。霍伊特跟随阿隆佐深入这座大都市最阴暗无序的角落,与那些威胁着社会安全与秩序的异端分子正面交锋。阿洛佐虽然身为警探,手段却游走在法律边缘。他秉持“以毒攻毒”的原则。因此,这种亦正亦邪的作风,强烈地影响着霍伊特这个“菜鸟”的正义感。阿伦佐甚至带队枪杀了他的一个线人,私吞其中100万美元赃款……

    在霍伊特决定拒绝与阿伦佐合作的时候,却发现他一直在竭尽全力保护自己。这让这位“菜鸟”警官陷入了迷惑……

    制作花絮

    影片按故事时间顺序拍摄而成。

    阿隆佐向杰克展示的早年照片是丹泽尔·华盛顿在《天危绝网》中的剧照。阿隆佐的座驾是一辆经过改装的1979年雪佛兰蒙特卡洛。

    加里·西尼斯和汤姆·塞兹摩尔曾拒绝扮演阿隆佐。布鲁斯·威利斯曾是扮演阿隆佐的最初人选。

    在安东尼·福奎阿担纲导演之前,戴维斯·古根海姆曾是本片导演的最初人选,而当时选定的两位主演是塞缪尔·杰克逊和马特·达蒙。

    托比·马奎尔曾有望扮演片中杰克,他甚至跟随洛杉矶的缉毒密探体验生活长达2个月,并特地为扮演角色增重,后来由于导演福奎阿争取到了伊桑·霍克,所以马奎尔最终无缘本片。

    真正的黑帮成员曾在片中抛头露面。
