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.

Righteous Kill - short review
Short movie review: Two veteran cops trail a serial villain killer – Robert De Niro and Al Pacino seem to need money, since they lowered their standards with this movie 
The plot: Turk and Rooster are friends and passionate detectives with three decades of work experience. They get the assignments to find a serial killer responsible for multiple killings, all of which were known criminals. The two follow the leads with little enthusiasm and mixed feelings, since they kinda sympathize with the guy cleaning up the streets of NYC for them. This changes however as they figure out the murderer could be one of their own, another NYPD cop.
Flickcritique says: Predictable Even though I like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino I was disappointed with their latest movie. Once again they are the (obviously aging) cool guys with guns and badges. That’s a role we have seen them playing before, however they usually spiced it up with an interesting script. In the Righteous Kill movie the story is simple and so is the ending. This is one of the few movies with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino that I would not watch again, it was just too boring
My favorite movie quote:
Most people respect the police badge, everyone respects the gun.
Conclusion: Predictable, boring, not really worth your time
