The Bad Cop: Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) is yet another violent police officer from the LAPD. The film follows one day in which an unlucky rookie cop, Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke), is assigned to ride along with Harris. The eye-opening experience puts Hoyt€™s life in danger as he€™s dragged around Los Angeles on Harris€™ shady dealings. Most Corrupt Act: Harris has found himself in hot water with some local Russian mobsters. Needing cash, he brings Hoyt along on a raid on a drug dealer€™s house where he murders the dealer and steals his money. Hoping to pin the whole thing on Hoyt, Harris pays some associates to kill the young rookie. Is Justice Served? Hoyt escapes his execution and goes after Harris with a vengeance. After a brief fight spills out into the streets, Hoyt gets the upper hand and prepares to arrest the Harris. Local gang members and other residents gather around and Harris calls on them to kill Hoyt. But they€™re fed up with Harris€™ corruption and instead they let Hoyt go free to inform on his senior officer. As Harris makes a final run for it, he is quickly gunned down by the Russians.
