Pride and Glory

Starring: Colin Farrell, Edward Norton, Jon Voight

What the hell happened to Colin Farrell? Wasn't he on the fast track to superstardom? Wasn't he in all those good movies with superb actors being groomed to become the next big thing? Wasn't he ooofing Britney Spears? Okay, maybe that was Justin Timberlake.

PRIDE AND GLORY is your basic family cop movie. Not "family" like your whole family including your little rugrats can watch this movie, too. I'm talking more literally, as in cops who are also in the same family. Edward Norton's brother-in-law is Colin Farrell and they're on the force together. Also, Norton's dad (Voight) and bro are protecting and serving, too. Wasn't Norton ooofing Salma Hayek at one time or another? Muy caliente, ese!!

Funny thing is, I've felt like I've seen this movie before. It's called WE OWN THE NIGHT. Mixed with some TRAINING DAY. You'll see.

Anyway, I can't reveal much. Pretty good movie. A bunch of cops get killed at the beginning and they spend the rest of the movie looking for this drug dealer dude who was supposedly at the scene. Norton's supposed to be cop genius, his bro is Captain Kangaroo, his dad is haole Boisse Correa, and Farrell is the kick-a$$ cop. They're all trying to figure out what the hell is going down, while you (the viewer) kinda already know what happened. Still nice to see it all unwind though. Wasn't Voight trying to ooof Angelina Jolie? Okay, sorry. That's some f@cked-up incestual bull$hit...

Like I said, pretty good movie. Not great, but not bad. Problem is, I felt like I've just seen this movie recently. WE OWN THE NIGHT was definitely better. I give this movie two motorcycle cops hiding behind the bushes with their radar guns and donuts, tracking you down for going 61.5 mph in a 60 mph zone, while the real criminals are f@cking up the local intermediate school and getting away with it every damn weekend...
