The whole movie basically tells the story of an anti-narcotics policeman with a worrying character leading a newcomer to start a training, but who knows he is involved in a major gang case. In Las Vegas, a Russian gang leader was beaten to death while paying protection fees.

Speaking of this, the film seems to be about a good policeman with a pure heart who has just taken office. After a battle of wits, he finally defeated the local snakes in this area, as well as the story of a villain policeman with a criminal umbrella and a black and white cannibal, but I repeated it. After watching a few shots, I felt that something was wrong. For example, in the film, Jack asked: "Are you going to teach me to catch the suspect and just hit it hard?" Alorzo said, "I don't care about that. To deal with them, you must use your brain, they are too powerful."

Speaking of this, I look like a dark-skinned anti-drug policeman. He successfully penetrated into the drug dealers. After a lot of hard work, he also gave birth to a set of rules of survival of his own. The "good guy" who handles cases in his own way, he does keep letting go of the "bad guys" in the film, but the judge has a 15,000-year sentence based on the case he handled. If Alorzo is placed in the domestic environment, I think in a company that promotes wolf culture, Alorzo is the fierce wolf inside.

In the first conflict made in the film, a young man driving a cream-green Beetle was stopped by Alorzo and Jack. Jack’s first reaction was to call for support, and Alorzo asked Jack to raise his gun at these few. Little guys, let’s think about the normal law enforcement process of the US anti-narcotics police, or Jack’s law enforcement process, confiscating drugs and throwing these little kids in the juvenile for a few days, what will happen afterwards?

I think those little things will brag with classmates after they are released from prison. I just returned from an outing from the juvenile management office. The feeling there is great. After that, they will still go to the gang to buy drugs, but Alorzo’s "shock What about "education"? Those little guys were so scared that they were about to pee on the spot, and Alorzo kept fanning and intimidating in his ears, staring at their foreheads with guns on the shelf, I don’t think anyone wants to come to this ghost place. the second time.

In the second part of the film’s conflict between police and bandit, after Alorzo induced Jack to take a PCP, Jack wandered for a while, and found two men molesting a little girl in a small alley. The nature of the police made Jack The first one rushed up. During the period, Jack even used the lock-throat technique. After subduing the two gangsters, the gangsters did not learn to behave. They still ranted rants to Jack and Alorzo. Alorzo taught as usual. One of them used two pistols against the man’s chin, and there was another "shock education". The guy immediately turned from a fierce-faced guy into a crying snot-faced guy, so the goal was achieved? ?

Of course, but they didn't catch those two people back to the police station, did they?

Why do you want to catch them back to the police station?

Do you hope that tomorrow’s news will be that a policeman is brave enough to arrest the prisoner, or will your wife be by your side to make breakfast for you when you wake up the next day?

You know that you died suddenly on the workbench, and your company will not buy you any coffins, or even at your funeral. Therefore, the method of protecting sheep is not only to kill the wolves, but also to let the wolves self-defense. Kill each other.

No matter what method is used, his goal has been achieved, hasn't it?

And this sentence is the core theme of this movie, the federal commander, the director of the inspection office, and the senior agent, don't these three people know that Alorzo often does some dirty work? But they still chatted and laughed with Alorzo at the dinner table, and even the three of them divided the 40,000 US dollars and issued a legal search warrant for Alorzo, and then they reasonably and legally killed the largest drug lord in Los Angeles. , And evenly divided the drug lord’s 4 million US dollars. Up to now in the film, I feel that Alorzo, as an anti-narcotics policeman, is the best I have ever seen.

But the film is in the white-hot stage. It seems to me that the pure-hearted Jack can become a "real" Los Angeles anti-drug police with a light push from Alorzo, but he did not do so, perhaps because of the Russians. The oppression caused Alzo to mess up his hands and feet for a while. In the past, it took weeks or months of education to be compressed in one day by Alorzo. So Jack could not bear so much "informal education" for a while, so Jack was handed over to him. The boss of the Shanlian Gang "dealed".

What made Alorzo play and didn’t expect was that the little girl saved by Jack was the cousin of the Shanlian Gang, because the Shanlian Gang attached great importance to contact with her relatives, so the Shanlian Gang leader saved herself in Jack. Jack was spared from the cousin's case, and this was the opportunity that Alorzo was finally defeated by the so-called "good policeman" Jack.

Please let me use the word "beat" here, because I really can't imagine any adjective that is more appropriate than this, because in Hollywood movies, the main theme is that a big bad guy is finally defeated by a "good guy", but In reality, we all know that the Los Angeles Drug Enforcement Agency needs guys like Alorzo, not Jack’s rigorous business model. Guys like Jack don’t know how to use their brains. Just like Alorzo said, they are too dangerous. Now, why should you take your own life for your own life, you need wisdom to compete with them, you don't know when they will give you a knife in the back.

And what I regret most about this video is that Alorzo was abandoned by his community companions. I know Alorzo is not a good person, but he is not necessarily a bad person. He has been abandoned by a race of the same skin color. In reality, he has been abandoned. I don't know how many times it has appeared.

On September 7, 1996, 2pac was shot and killed while driving in Las Vegas. In the same year, TheNotoriousB.IG was assassinated. He was only 25 years old when he died. In 2018, XXXTentacion was only 20 years old when he was assassinated. These people were born. In the chaotic black neighborhood, he used rap to speak to his social environment, but he died under the guns of gangs and companions.

So the community without Alorzo may no longer need to survive his prostitution, but who knows what would happen without the protection of the police?

I regret the death of Alorzo, because the most black police officer can cover the sky in Los Angeles and bribe a white leader, and I think this is very powerful without being discovered. But don’t forget that the masterpiece "Training Day" applies Freud’s theory to the Oedipus complex. Jack perfectly killed himself

My teacher, there is a plot in the film where Alorzo’s wife tells Jack to treat this place as his home, and Jack’s eyes float around her from time to time. I think Alorzo will take care of them after his death. The responsibility fell on Jack...

George Orwell described a story in "Animal Farm" in which a group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving the human owners who squeezed them out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders and the smart pigs eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more dictatorial and totalitarian rulers than human owners.

At the end, Jack’s eyes changed from clear to firm. When he returned home tiredly, he remembered a bit of news on the radio. A police officer from the Drug Enforcement Group of the Los Angeles Police Department unfortunately died today while handling the case. Near Los Angeles International Airport, the police department said Officer Alorzo, leaving behind a wife and four young children.
