Continuity: After the shootout sequence with the gang members in the LA neighborhood, Jake and Alonzo drive fast to get away. They stop sometime soon after on a highway. When both exit the vehicle, the Monte Carlo is still running, as can be seen from the exhaust pipe which emits smoke. When they are done arguing, Alonzo and Jake get back into the vehicle. Alonzo starts the vehicle although in the previous scene, it was left running.

This movie impressed me by its great quality in all ways, the story, thrilling with great police detective action and the most remarkable aspect of the movie was the acting performances of Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke; they put his soul on the characters making this movie a total delight for those who like action films with intelligent scripts and also like for high quality films.
About the Movie: Ethan Hawke plays Jake Hoyt, a rookie police officer with a good curriculum that is assigned to a one day trial day in order to qualify for a narcotics division in Los Angeles. Hawke meets then detective Alonzo Haris (Denzel Washington) who was assigned as trainer and evaluator for this rookie. Hoyt wants fiercely to get this assignment, but finds very orthodoxes and quaint ways to "protet and to serve" of Alonzo. In this day Hoyt will meet a true challenge and will face the total opposite way to proceed from the one he learned in the academy; he will also face some of the more dangerous neighborhoods and streets of Los Angeles.
