Pride and Glory - short review
Short movie review: Once again the NYPD turns to be a corrupt swamp - worth watching 
The Plot: Four police officer homicides in New York City initiate an investigation eventually unveiling the ugly true about morale standards of the department. In the saga bad apples and heros of a multi-generation police officers family have to make difficult choices and face the full extent of their consequences…
Flickcritique says: Great cast with Edward Norton playing a cop named Ray and Collin Farrell as Ray’s brother-in-law Francis! Particularly, Colin recently outperforming in In Bruges does a great job again. I have to admit I became a fan of his despite initial doubts regarding his acting skills. The story is not too complicated but the screen play is rock solid and convincing. Little color saturation makes NYC look morbid, which matches perfectly the atmosphere of the movie. Me and my friends liked the movie, despite the disappointingly righteous, Hollywood-style ending. And despite the a bit too shaky camera 
Oh, one thing is gonna come up on moviemistakes.com for sure is Ray’s big but temporary disappearing facial scare No one is perfect they say and director Gavin O’Connor seems not to be a perfectionist either
Watch it if you liked: Cop Land (1997) with Silvester Stallone unveiling the truth about suburban cop idyll or The Departed (2006) with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson playing a cat-and-mouse game.

Gomorra - read b4 watching
Short movie critic: A way too long movie about what the title says, the Italian mafia – disappointing 
The Plot: A conscienceless ass is making money out of dumping toxic waste anywhere he can, some kids steal mafia guns and dream of a bright future as kingpins, some other ones change sides in the ongoing mafia wars and sell out their friends. In my opinion there is barely something like a real plot in Gomorra
Flickcritique says: Maybe it’s just me and a certain lack of understanding for Italian movies but most of the time I thought the movie was a bit naive, too long and kinda boring It lacks an ongoing plot and a main character. Some of the dialogues a just trivial and appear a bit posed. I like mafia movies and I am kinda fan of Italian cinema but Gomorra did not convince me and I can not recommend it
I’ve been thinking of similar movies that I’ve watched…There is Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995) but either of the are really similar, since these are American mafia movies… not sure I can compare Gomorra to anything but since it’s not worth watching anyways I can live with it
