Pride and Glory

This drama about clean and corrupt cops is surprisingly bland, especially considering the potential of its cast. Colin Farrell and Noah Emmerich are excellent, while Edward Norton’s performance is less distinctive, but the important thing is that they are unnecessary. It’s as if their director had no energy or clear vision, not knowing where to push and where to pull back. It seems like he made this film without concentration or interest, as a form of punishment. In terms of content, it is very similar to, but a much worse than, the recent We Own the Night. (11/01/2009)

An excellent crime movie about police corruption. Apart from the acting performances (nice to see Jon Voight as a goodie for a change), Pride and Glory isn’t anything particularly special, but it’s good to look at and after the final credits you have the pleasant feeling that the world is screwed or else will be very soon.

A detective flick that lacks the atmosphere of Harsh Times and the action of Street Kings. It’s not a dud (thanks to the actors), but if there’s any ambitious film with an A-list cast that has left me completely but utterly cold in the genre, other Mann's Miami Vice, it's the clichéd Pride and Glory. 60% (06/02/2014)

An incredibly boring crime thriller that builds interesting family relationships but does so in an extremely tedious and lengthy manner. There's only one scene - well, maybe there are two if I'm being nice - that's really worthwhile. For a film featuring aces like Norton, Farrell, and Voight, it's really incredibly little, just as it is for a runtime of over two hours. (06/12/2015)
