Did It Suck Movie Reviews

Review:     3.5 Stars     Rated:     R

Good cops, bad cops, undercover cops, rookie cops, and dead cops.  Director Antoine Fuqua shoots his way through the dark side of police work in Brooklyn’s Finest.  Starring: Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, and Wesley Snipes (who, BTW,  is back after a 5 year break).

Plot: Three New York police officers take us into their lives as we see them struggle against the streets of Brooklyn.  Eddie (Gere) has seven days left until he retires; life and 22 years on the job has already killed him.  Tango (Cheadle) is an undercover cop who wants his life back because he’s forgetting who the enemy is.  Sal (Hawke) is a narcotics officer who needs money and is desperate to support his three kids and sick pregnant wife.  He risks his job and life trying to pocket drug money after police raids.

Did It Suck? As expected this was a slow character driven movie.  In saying that, all the actors played their parts incredibly well and this made it easy to connect with each of the different characters.  The story line was a little loose, there wasn’t much of one until the end of  the movie where all three cops end up in the same location.  Not the best cop movie but over all it was a half decent film.  Final verdict …. Not worth spending full price at the theater, Wait For The DVD.
