Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

best movie i've ever seen.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Pride & Glory is a gritty police melodrama that grabs the audience, shakes them till the point of concussion and wrings the life out of them with it's nonstop intensity and performances that could raise buildings to the ground. Think I'm exaggerating or overselling? Give it a go, it's fucking nuts. NYC cop dramas are a common occurrence out there, and have been for a long while, but something about this one just rings eerily true, rattles your cage and lets both the violence and corruption seep into the marrow of one's viewing experience. After a drug deal erupts into multiple murder, a family of cops is thrown in an uproar. Haggard straight arrow Edward Norton is on point of investigation by boozy patriarch Jon Voight, and ends up finding out way more than he bargained for not only in regards to the NYPD, but about his fellow cop brother (Colin Farrell) too. Their third brother (underrated Noah Emmerich) is too busy taking care of his sick wife (Jennifer Ehle) to notice the corruption, or maybe does and looks the other way. Every faction adds to the pressure cooker of an atmosphere, rooted in the familial relationships that can't withstand dangerous secrets. They should call the guy Colin Feral, because he's a right beast as a guy whose moral compass is so out of whack he doesn't know who he is anymore. The actor is fervently complex in his work, and makes the guy way more human than other performers would, but he's still terrifying, whether threatening a newborn baby with a hot iron or full on brawling with Norton in a fracas of a man to man bar-fight. Voight is one of those characters who is so corrupt he doesn't even notice it anymore, which is a dangerous avenue to arrive at when you're in such a position of power. The supporting cast is pockmarked with fiery work from terrific actors including super underrated Carmen Ejogo, Wayne Duvall, John Ortiz, Lake Bell and two arresting turns from reliable firebrands Frank Grillo and Shea Wigham. Built around a script by Joe Carnahan, who feeds off of authentic dialogue and realistic shaping of events, this is one that pulls you right into it's suffocating world of beleaguered sentinels of law enforcement whose eyes have become dim to that thin blue line separating order and madness. Brilliant, heavy stuff.

Four NYPD cops are down in a drug bust gone wrong. Ray Tierney (Edward Norton) heads the investigation. It's what his father ex-cop brass Francis Sr (Jon Voight) wants. The four are his brother Francis Jr (Noah Emmerich)'s men. As Ray digs, he finds corruption in the department that has entangled his family. Jimmy Egan (Colin Farrell) is his brother-in-law who leads a group of corrupted cops.It's a gritty crime drama with lots of top notch acting talents. The acting is good, but there is nothing here that is new or surprising. Writer/director Gavin O'Connor has infused this movie with a grimy messy style. The tone is dark. The story is a little bit confused with a few too many characters' POV and is also somewhat formulaic. It's a movie that has been done better elsewhere.

Pride and Glory turned out to be a much better cop film than I expected. Based on the storyline and casting, I anticipated that this film would be very similar to 2007's We Own the Night. But this movie surpassed Night in many levels. Night isn't a bad movie but Pride and Glory is just better.This film is another film that deals with police corruption in the NYPD. This film is primarily about multi-generation family who has to deal with corruption.The acting is very good. I was really impressed with Edward Norton. Norton is one of the best actors working today. Colin Farrell and Jon Voight delivered some good performances too. Overall, this is a gritty cop film that can be emotional at times. Despite the bad reviews, I really enjoyed this film. I rate this film 9/10.

One of my favourite cop drama's has to be Pride & Glory. It has to go down as one of the most entertaining cop thrillers I've ever watched. That's no joke either. I think this is filmed with real power and passion compared to most cop movies. It's really tense & gripping. Utterly compelling to watch at times. It's much tough & grittier than cop films like, say Dirty Harry. Biggest difference between this and Dirty Harry is this is much nastier, darker, tougher, & grittier. It is filmed with much more passion and honesty. Some scenes feel so realistic you'd think you're almost watching a cop documentary of someone's life as a cop, & dream of growing up to be a cop. Colin Farrell (Though I don't like him) gave a stunning performance in this, one of his best if you ask me. Ed Norton gave a blistering performance to. In fact, I'd only rate his performance as racist Nazi American Derek Vinyard higher. He showed to me that he is a great actor, and he can act so well when he gives it his all. The story mostly evolves around finding Angel Tezo, who is the target. The Tierney family which include Ray Tierney, his bro & sister, and her husband Jimmy Egan, along with Tierney Senior. I found the funeral part very gripping to watch, and the confrontations were intense throughout the movie between the cops. There is a lot of profanity which is understandable in a film like this. It is really entertaining and the acting is convincing and powerful. I would definitely encourage people who enjoy anything such as documentaries on cops or other cop thrilling films to buy this. I'm really pleased I bought this, it was well worth the cash. 8/10 is my final rating (Which means excellent). Don't miss this powerhouse of a cop film!
