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.
