Pride and Glory Movie Review
I was doubtful about watching this movie to begin with as I have never been a huge Edward Norton or Colin Farrell fan, especially after seeing Edward Norton in the Incredible Hulk and Colin Farrell in the recruit, I thought both films were just 5/10 films. Colin gained some respect from the film ‘In Bruges’ however Edward Norton for me and Colin Farrell are not lead roles, I do not feel they can hold a movie on their own like Tom Hanks and other great actors, however i am sure they will get there.
Pride and Glory is a movie about the NYPD and the corruption within it. I think it was meant to be filmed after the 9/11 terrorism act however it was benched until a better time. Colin Farrell plays the dirty brother in law cop that is a hired hit man and drug dealer. After Colin Farrells guys get slaughtered in a raid they is uproar in the department and a Task Force is put together to find out what happened of which Edward Norton heads. John Voight plays the father of Ed Norton and the father in law of Colin Farrell and is the long serving police chief.
It all ends in tears as expected however the story line is good and the acting good as well. Both Colin and ed are now larger blips on my Hollywood actor. A great fim and I would rate this a 6.5-7/10.
