Brooklyn's Finest

BROOKLYN'S FINEST (2010) - Mar. 5, 2010
An enjoyable if somewhat overlong film about three cops (one undercover, one about to retire and one desperate for cash so he can move out of his mould-infested house) in a gritty New York neighbourhood.  Pretty much filled to the brim with cop movie cliches, there wasn't anything particularly fresh about this film, though it was surprisingly well directed by Antoine Fuqua and very well acted.  It dragged a bit, particularly towards the end, but then there was a tense and downright riveting finale that definitely redeemed the film.  ***
