THIS IS WAR. THIS IS BROOKLYN.
A few days in the lives of three Brooklyn police officers – Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere) is retiring without any real merits; Sal Procida (Ethan Hawke) provides for his family by robbing drug dealers; and Clarence Butler (Don Cheadle) is under cover, desperately trying to end his current assignment. Antoine Fuqua returns to Training Day (2001) territory with another fast-moving, gritty cop thriller. The three main characters don’t really meet in the movie, but their stories are effectively balanced against each other; they’re all under intense pressure. Nothing sensational here, but the acting is very good.
2010-U.S. 123 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Cast: Richard Gere (Eddie Dugan), Don Cheadle (Clarence “Tango” Butler), Ethan Hawke (Sal Procida), Wesley Snipes, Will Patton, Lili Taylor… Ellen Barkin, Vincent D’Onofrio.
