Brooklyn's Finest









Runtime:  132 Minutes 
MPAA Rating:  R
Stars: Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes
Plot: Three cops with different career paths and goals collide at the end...who will survive?
Review: Overall a pretty good movie.  It held my interest throughout.  Ethan Hawke plays a desperate dad who needs money to move his family, including his wife who is pregnant with twins, out of the mold infested house they live in.  Richard Gere plays a cop who is retiring, and has nothing in his life to keep him going.  Don Cheadle is an undercover cop who is torn between his job and loyalty to a drug kingpin (Snipes) who once saved his life.  


This movie had great drama and a lot of killing.  There is one kill in particular that just kind of freaked me out, and that is when Gere's character puts a zip tie over a man's throat and pulls it tight...just kind of sick.  


Rating: 7/10
