No. This. Just by smoking a cigarette, DeNiro lets you know his dastardly plan of offing the crew. No words even needed.

Fucking awesome.. OK, he does a lot of crappy films now, but ,for me, for at least a decade he was the finest screen actor of all time.

Traning day was a wicked movie. Denzil should play bad guy more often.

I want to say that I read somewhere this scene went way off script and ended up being more improvisation.

Also, there is so much about Training Day that makes that movie. Ethan Hawke did great but was so overly shadowed by Denzel it was ridiculous. Just the way he was saying "Jake" has such contempt to it.
