 ... John Voight wants to protect the family's name and promises to sort things out. Ray is left in a moral dilemma and the film focuses on whether he can grass up on his own family or live with the consequences if he doesn't. This film appears to have been done before, but is still enjoyable. It has many twists and turns throughout meaning the action is relentless and keeps the viewer guessing. The action is mostly shot in Manhattan's Washington Heights which feels like a character as it highlights the insecurites of t...more

Premium Review Pride And Glory (DVD): Keeping it in the family,,,,, (644 words)

Rating:

Pride and Glory is an intriguing and well made cop thriller about police brutality and corruption. It has an impressive cast list that delivers on what it a tough and convoluted plot, presented in an overly long 2 hours of film. Chief Tierney (John Voight) is proud of his two boys Ray (Ed Norton) and Frannie (Noah Emmerich). When son in law and Sergeant of some of New York's 'Finest' Jimmy (Colin Farrell) loses 4 of his men in what is seemingly an inexplicable presence in a drug dealer's lodgings, Chief persaudes Ray to head up the task force to find out what happened and to track down the crims responsible for the deaths. As Ray digs deeper, he ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Pride and (yawn) zzzzzzzzzzz (325 words)

Rating:

This is a 15 rated police drama that runs for two hours and contains some strong language and scenes of graphic violence. This film is centred around four NYPD police officers: two brothers Ray Tierney (Edward Norton) and Fran Tierney Jnr (Noah Emmerich), the brother-in-law Jimmy Eagan (Colin Farrell) and the father Fran Tierney Snr (John Voigt). The story starts with the murder of four cops after which Fran Snr persuades his son Ray to leave his post in Missing Persons and lead a task force to investigate these murders. This film follows that investigation: an investigation which soon reveals police corruption. (I don't want to say much more than this ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Pride And Glory (DVD): I take no pride in telling you this... (312 words)

Rating:

On the one hand this film has a lot to offer: Colin Firth and Edward Norton are two of the best actors around at the moment, and here they team up together. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the plot: basically it all revolves around a police officer investigating a crime and finding his brother in law is mixed up in it. OK stop. How often have you seen a film with a similar plot to that? I've seen quite a few, and it was clear the story wasn't going to break any records. Indeed, it's predictable and average the whole way through. No, what was going to do it was the acting, so is it any good? Edward Norton and Colin Firth both give ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Pride And Glory (DVD): Solid but uninspired (277 words)
by - written on 14/07/09 (Useful, 6 readings)
Rating:

Pride and Glory was among the many films that became caught up in the Writers Strike of 2008-2009, and was further mired by the collapse of New Line Cinema last year, meaning that its Oscar campaign was toned down, and the film recieved a fairly minimal release. Sadly, its Oscar claims were overstated, and while it had that potential, it's merely a decent thriller with good performers. Ray Tierney (Edward Norton) plays a New York City police officer who is part of a family of police officers, including his brother, Jimmy Egan (Colin Farrell), and their father, Francis Tierney Sr (John Voight). Ray is investigating what initially seems to be a simple murder, ...  Read the complete review
