This new up and coming movie really doesn't have a original premise.It tracks the first day of a cop(Hawke).It's his first day working in the L.A.P.D'S Narcotics unit.

Here's a preview of the Cast:

Denzel Washington
Ethan Hawke
Tom Berenger
Snoop Dogg
Dr. Dre
Scott Glenn
Macy Gray
Charlotte Ayanna
Raymond J. Barry
Sarah Madison
Eva Mendes
Will Foster Stewart
Harris Yulin

The white-rapper Eminem was offered on the lead roles as the villian but he declined(guess he's trying to clean up his image) /ubb/rolleyes.gif

The film is set to release later this year.

I don't know wehter you saw a preview for it or read a write up for it. I saw the preview and it looks like it is a lot more gritty than you gave it credit for. Denzel plays the cop that is training Ethan Hawk and Denzel getts to play a role I haven't seen him play in awhile. He plays a tough cop. And from the looks of it he plays a brutal cop and it appears he does a good job. The trailer hints at a possible renegade cop or just plain old bad cop but it looks like it will be a good vehicle for Denzel. I have been wanting a good strong role from him for a while. SO I think it looks really good.
