Just another copy...

by dallasite

If you like movies about cops gone bad try a couple of the classics "Magnum Force" (Dirty Harry) and "Internal Affairs", you really hate Gere in this flick and love it when he gets popped by Garcia.

Pride and Glory

by Michaelm1808

A very good movie, with non-stop action. It is a under rated movie and it deserves more recognition.

Zipadeedooda!

by hosaia

Just saw this flick and I expected P&G to be a pleasant diversion, but wasn't exactly prepared for the POWERHOUSE ensemble performance it, in fact, undoubtedly is! The production team headed by Director/Screenwriter Gavin O'Connor, co-Screenwriter Joe Carnahan, and the talented acting skills from ALL cast members headed by Colin Farrel, Edward Norton and Noah Emmerich, have kicked a three-point field goal out of the stadium with this unexpectedly dense,complex, but thrilling police drama. I was totally blown away! Moving from shocking surprise to nail-biting suspense, this team has presented a completely engaging and confident portrayal of a law enforcement family in crisis--having to choose between loyalty to each other, or to their beloved department. I advise anyone who enjoys great adult-themed movies that spin slightly towards mystery but with a healthy dose of psychological intrigue to check out Pride and Glory--NOW! Leave the mega-plex, big-budget tripe to neophytes--be warned!

Worth watching at least once..

by johana42

This movie was pretty good... worth watching at least once... but I don't think I would repeat it. If you like suspense- or trying to figure out "who-dun-it" this movie is not for you- the plot is pretty transparent from the beginning. There are some scenes that will make you squeamish. I did like that a part of the movie was filmed in my neighborhood- so I was always looking out to see if I knew where they were. Overall, kept me entertained for the two hours... but honestly, if I could have waited to see it onDemand too...

Excellent Movie....A Must See

by jmccloy77

I don't believe how people can say this was not a good movie. It is a good movie. It tells the truth about some cops today. Hiding the bad side of them. They feel being cops, they have the power over everything. They let there badge speak. This was a good movie. I do agree however, with one thing, just the times when they were speaking spanish. Could have added subtitles so everyone knows what is being said. But other than that, this was truly a good movie. I definately recommend this to anyone. Edward Norton and Colin Ferrell did a good job together. Good chemistry between the 2 actors. Definately go see it.

Just Got Home - Mixed Feelings

by

This movie really is under-rated. I've barely heard anything about it before today and I did not mind the slow start at all. Acting is superb throughout. Script is a little disappointing at times - the F bomb is dropped about 8 milllliiioonnn times which is effective in giving the movie an edge, but also degrading to the point that it's almost a laughable word by the end of the movie. The plot continuously thickens and really kept me on the edge of my seat, however the ending was a little offbeat. Still not bad, but I wouldn't have minded staying another 30 minutes or so for more development near the end. There are a few people in the movie that do not get an ending. You're left wondering what happened to them, but there is no resolution... and this is not the sequel kind of movie so I'm not so sure how I think about that. Overall- pretty well written, excellent acting, good plot, great setting (everybody loves an NYC movie) and probably loosely based on a true story. 4.5/5 * from me.

Pride and Glory

by jdgfilm1

This film is done really well. Colin Ferrel and Edward Norton I think give an excellent performance. Yes, Yes people say "well its the similar story of Cop corruption" but I thought this film was more than that. The script was I think done very well and all the actors gave a great performance. The only thing that I guess would stop you from seeing this movie is if your not a fan of Collin Ferrel or Edward Norton. But I don't think that is an excuse because it seems they both went into their characters for this film and came out with a good result.

Pride and Glory

Really well acted movie. All the actors did a terrific job. It is pretty scarey to think that this kind of stuff really happens.

Pride and Gory

by Victoria McSushi

Not horror flick gory but still some memorable scenes (wanted a cathy title). Pride and Glory is a movie about corruption in the NYPD and its effect on a family of police officers. The father (Jon Voight) and his sons are on opposite sides of the investigation and ultimately all must choose between loyalty and integrity. Decent action flick though the dialogue is hokey in a few places. Law enforcement will roll their eyes a few times in the movie (yes, I was a district attorney for 7 years) but it was still entertaiing. Well paced, just a couple slow spots. Ed Norton is great (as usual) and Colin Farrell plays the same role he seems to be getting over and over lately (bad boy). Definitely not a movie for the under teen crowd due to violence and language.

how many corrupt NYC cops does it take to make a movie?

by Hatzenbach

I am not sure what I expected from this movie (I guess I mainly went based on the strong cast) but this must be the one-millionth "one good cop fights against many corrupt cops in NYC" movie that came out in the last 5 years.
Completely over the top, absolutely confusing at the beginning, "Blair Witch" hand camera to the excess, way too loooooooooooooooong, and completely preductable by the middle of the movie.
The only surprise was that the Jon Voigth character was not corrupt ...

A strong movie with good acting. Got an free ticket? Go watch!

by gansvv

Great performance from Colin Farrell and Edward Norton. A bit heavy movie though, with a strong theme about corruption among NY cops. The bar scene fight was the only "light" part, when folks in the theater broke a smile. The music was good, but the storyline was mostly predictable, except for the radical conclusion. Leaves you wondering where they tried to do a Serpico?

Amazing New York movie, with twisting unexpected ending and plot. Constant heart racing action within every scene. Excellent script must-see.

Very violent but exceptional acting

by Movie_goer_918

Body Parts were everywhere! However, Ed Norton proved once again, what a talented actor he is. It doesn't paint a glorious picture of the NYPD but gives a strong portrayal of the conflicts confronting the rank and file. Colin Farrell and Jon Voight gave commendable performances. This film is not for the sqeamish!

Didn't knock my socks off

by Snowpea

The movie didn't get great reviews so I wasn't sure what to expect. I enjoyed the storyline and the movie was definitely attention-grabbing and kept me on the edge of my seat, but, there were parts that didn't seem to fit with the rest of the film. The ending, however, was utterly stupid..it seemed like the director lost interest and wrote anything just to be done with it.

Overall the plot was great and the cast was outstanding, but, unfortunately they weren't used to the best of their abilities.
