Review of Pride and Glory (2008) by Keymaster1 — 18 Sep 2010
The hailed heroism and glory are things that are ranked high along with the badge for the Tierney family, a well respected circle of father (Jon Voight) and son's (Edward Norton and Noah Emmerich) police officers.
They are known for their good deeds, but when a police corruption scandal is discovered by Ray (Edward Norton) things start to heat up. The signs point toward brother in law Jimmy (Colin Farrell) being a loose cannon.
Soon the tension is high between Farrell and Norton which ends up to be a very heated, fist clenched, raging rivalry between the two. The family's true code of ethics is put into play as Norton struggles to do what is right.
-All of the acting was very genuine and very immersing. Especially the acting from Farrell as he shows us a very angry, above the law cop (The baby and the iron part was very tense), he fleshed out a nice, spiteful bastard.
-Overall 'Pride and Glory' was a good cop, crime drama that was pretty well written, with some slight predictability which is made up for by good cast interaction and an overall good main character carried properly by Norton.
The story was good enough to keep me watching and the realism was the icing on the cake.
