Denzel Washington: 2 lines what-if ×1 career ×1

  1. career (career): Denzel Washington → Training Day. Macrinus is a rare outlandish, fun-having role for Denzel, with Alonzo in Training Day the nearest earlier cousin.
    “You could say like Alonzo a little bit in training day is this”

Internal Affairs: 2 lines lineage ×1 contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Training Day → Internal Affairs. Training Day knows it is a different prism on dirty cops, while Internal Affairs treats a dirty cop as fun to watch.
    “Yeah, training day is in a completely different prism and it knows that this movie is kind of like, ah, it's fun to watch Richard Gere be a dirty cop.”

Ethan Hawke: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Ethan Hawke → Training Day. Hawke's real apex is Training Day, which gave him any career opportunity he wanted.
    “he does training day and all of a sudden he can make any career opportunity he wants.”

Richard Gere: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Richard Gere → Training Day. Peck's power-move needling about the wife echoes Alonzo's needling of Jake in Training Day.
