\"Pride<\/a>
Pride and Glory with Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight and Noah Emmerich. Raymond (Norton) has already lost his love to help protect other cops. He doesn’t want to do the same mistakes but how the hell do you do the right thing when the wrong involves your brother( Emmerich) and brother-in-law (Farrell) ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When 4 NYPD cops die during an operation, it is especially devastating for Jimmy Eagen (Colin Farrell<\/a>). It is not exactly an emotional trauma, though. Jimmy and his remaining corrupt group of cops have to clean up the mess before it is too late. However things are going to be much harder; since Jimmy\u2019s father-in-law (Jon Voight) \u2013 unaware of his involvement- insists that his son Raymond takes the case. Though unwilling, Raymond (Edward Norton<\/a>) starts looking into events, and it doesn\u2019t take long before he realizes that there are cops involved behind the crimes and the cops might be too close to home. Is Ray\u2019s brother, also a cop, Francis (Noah Emmerich<\/a>) involved as well?<\/p>\n

Forget about the movie\u2019s name, plot summaries you might read and definitely stay away from the trailer. When I first saw the trailer, I thought: \u201cShit, another corrupt cop story with family issues thrown in\u201d. Seemed to clich\u00e9, too overdone. But the fact is, the movie is much more than any of its promotional elements suggests. It is strong, grabbing and despite all the familiar themes, it stands on its two feet and ends up impresses you. Characters are complicated and they are all flawed.<\/p>\n

Colin Farrell puts in a good performance. Edward Norton<\/a> is in his usual element, although maybe playing Jimmy would have been more fun. Noah Emmerich is just outstanding as Francis- the brother who should have paid more attention to the cops under him, but was too busy taking care of his dying wife.<\/p>\n

All in all, this is a good movie with solid performances. There is too much swearing that might distract you from time to time, but considering the characters, it suits them.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have one dull moment in it and the drama is just as exciting as the action.6.7 on imdb. Deserves a 7, at the very least.<\/p>\n
