His Qualities

What Makes Him Entertaining?

• Denzel Washington's performance is amazing and entertaining to watch, which won many awards.
• He has many memorable and funny lines, including his famous monologue during his face-off with the Russian gangsters, and it became memetic on the internet.
• He presents himself as a cowboy cop who breaks the rules to get his man and will engage in vigilantism if it helps him serve justice.
• He is quite intelligent as he convinced Jake to take drugs and uses it as leverage against him, while using others like chess pieces in the game plan.

• He is such a memorable antagonist among the many roles of Denzel Washington, some comedians and TV shows have done impressions of Alonzo.

What Makes Him Detestable?

• He is a utterly corrupt police officer who regularly abuses his power by making threats to criminals with underhanded tactics such as shoving pens to their throats, and shooting them, which is best seen with Blue, whom Alonzo personally crippled.
• He has corrupted five police officers into becoming like him, with Jake as his next victim, by preying on his need to impress the officer.
• He shows no love towards his mistress Sara, as he only keeps her around for sex and is seen flirting with another woman. The same goes for his son, whom he has used as a shield to lower Jake's guard.
• He opened fire at an urban neighborhood during a gang shootout, which killed Roger.
• For all his claims of upholding the law and keeping the neighborhood safe, Alonzo is just a selfish and corrupt hypocrite who bullies those who are lower than him, and is shown to be no better than the criminals he swore to hunt.
• Once Jake betrays him and left with the money as evidence to expose his former mentor, Alonzo loses his cool and starts threatening retaliation against the neighborhood, before trying to escape from the Russian gangsters, only to be unceremoniously gunned down by them.
