Synopsis

A family of police officers – patriarch, two sons, and a son-in-law – deals with corruption in a precinct in Washington Heights. Four officers die in an ambush at a drug dealer’s apartment. It’s brother Francis’s precinct, so when the investigation led by brother Ray finds hints of police corruption, there’s pressure to close ranks and save Frankie’s career. Dad, a police brass, promises Ray that he and Frankie can clean things up, and Ray should focus on catching the drug dealer who killed the cops. Meanwhile, brother-in-law Jimmy, a hothead and an enforcer, is visited at home by a lowlife. Is Jimmy involved in the corruption? Where can this take the family?

Remains one of the best cop dramas I've seen in some time; this isn't just some lazy late 00's thriller trying to capitalize on the success of "The Departed." Edward Norton gives a fine, charismatic performance and director O'Connor has certain skill in depicting rough neighborhoods, broken homes and bad consciences. Gripping and emotionally volcanic, I barely took note of the clichés some complain about.

This is actually a pretty good movie, fucking except for the fucking fact that fucking every fucking other fucking line from the fucking bad fucking cops is the fucking word "fuck". -- PolarisDiB

Review: PRIDE AND GLORY

By Twitchfilm.com on May 17, 2011
Superbly modulated and thrilling in its subtle intensity, Pride and Glory admittedly doesn’t break any new ground. The elements are almost numbingly familiar: a family of cops, New York’s mean streets
