Training Day : Are You a Wolf or a Sheep?
Training Day: Are you a Wolf or a Sheep? Anyone who has started a new job knows how terrifying it can be. Antoine Fuqua’s film, Training Day shows just how scary it can get.

He has the audience continuously debating; whose side should I be on? From the beginning, Washington’s character, Alonzo Harris show signs of being impatient and rude when he hangs up on his new trainee Jake Hoyt (played by Ethan Hawke). When Alonzo takes Jake to his “office,” which turns out to be his customized, black Monte Carlo, hydraulics and all, he immediately cuts Jake off from any other authority figure. It felt slightly shady, but this was particularly sly because he is now solely in the hands of Alonzo. Alonzo’s street slang rolls off his tongue, obviously from his need to use it. He’s on a first-name basis with some of the lowest of the low in his business. Everyone on the street knows he is a cop, but they also know that as long as you do not get on his bad side and give him information every now and then
