It’s a tough movie, but it’s deep at the same time. It is a bit unusual to see Denzel Washington as the ‘bad guy’. However, after a closer look at the monitor, you begin to understand that the guy is not unequivocally a bad guy. Alonzo is a tragic figure, the product of a war which, although undeclared, is waged every day on our streets (yes, it doesn’t matter whose streets – American or Russian, everything really is).
With time comes a terrible understanding: no one will take care of you, protect you, solve your problems, everyone is on his own. And then man begins not to live, but to survive, to fight for his existence, his place under the sun… To fight ruthlessly, according to the law of the modern jungle. It is hard not to succumb to this mood.
Jay (Ethan Hawke) is very different. But what does he know? This is the first time he’s dipped into the cauldron in which Alonzo has been simmering for years. Yes, he’s proven himself very worthy here. But what will happen in five, ten, twenty years from now, when it is clear that treachery and meanness, cruelty and indifference, corruption and venality are not accidental exceptions, but a system? What will he do then? Break down and leave? Will he break down and become part of the system himself? Or will he not break down and find the strength to resist it?
The audience doesn’t know that, and neither does Jake.
But in fact, we all find ourselves in this position all the time – you don’t have to be in the American police or the Russian police for that. A system that tries to grind, to remake a person to suit itself… We encounter it at every turn. And so, if you think about it, you realize that there are also many days in our lives – training days.
