Brooklyn’s Finest tells the story about a couple of police officers that all have their own issues (money, working undercover, getting older). The number of well-known actors is high. Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes all play their roles very well.
What i also noticed about this movie is that a big number of actors from the HBO series “The Wire” are in this movie. Examples are Michael K. Williams (who played Omar) and Isiah Whitlock (Clay “SHIIIIIIIIIIIT” Davis). If you don’t know the Wire, you owe it to yourself to buy it immediately without reading anything about the shows. It’s one of TV’s best shows ever.
The various stories in Brooklyn’s Finest have been fleshed out well and are all interesting (although the Richard Gere one disappointed slightly). Every character needs to make important decisions that can possibly have unwanted consequences. This movie is highly recommended.
Score: 8
