Ethan Hawke wears a Casio G-Shock

A single day destroys everything Jake Hoyt believes about police work. Ethan Hawke earned an Oscar nomination as the rookie narcotics officer paired with Denzel Washington's Alonzo Harris for what is supposed to be a ride-along evaluation and turns into a 24-hour education in corruption. Antoine Fuqua directed the 2001 film on location in the Los Angeles neighborhoods where the LAPD's Rampart scandal had played out. On Jake's wrist is a Casio G-Shock DW-6900, the model with three small circular displays set into the lower dial, the unflashy everyday digital of a young cop on his first day in plainclothes.
