Thanks to all who voted last week! We just realized that “At the Movies” was already taken, so we needed to change up the title of our segment a little bit. I think we’re all better off for it in the end anyway. Like last week we have but just a couple of films to choose from. Unlike last week, however, these films could prove to be much more interesting. As a reminder: the poll is located both in the sidebar and at the bottom of this post. Vote for which you’d like to see discussed!
Brooklyn’s Finest
In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation in ‘Brooklyn’s Finest,’ a searing new crime drama from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (‘Training Day’).
Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan (Golden Globe-winner Richard Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke) has discovered there’s no line he won’t cross to provide a better life for his long-suffering wife and seven children. And Clarence “Tango” Butler (Oscar nominee Don Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (Wesley Snipes), one of Brooklyn’s most infamous drug dealers. With personal and work pressures bearing down on them, each man faces daily tests of judgment and honor in one of the world’s most difficult jobs.
When NYPD’s Operation Clean Up targets the notoriously drug-ridden BK housing project, all three officers find themselves swept away by the violence and corruption of Brooklyn’s gritty 65th Precinct and its most treacherous criminals. During seven fateful days, Eddie, Sal and Tango find themselves hurtling inextricably toward the same fatal crime scene and a shattering collision with destiny.
The film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York’s most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them ‘Brooklyn’s Finest’.
