Movie synopsis

Edward Norton and Colin Farrell play brothers in a family of cops in this drama from director Gavin O'Connor (MIRACLE). After several New York City cops are killed, one brother must investigate his own family as he tries to solve the difficult case. Jon Voight costars., The son of a New York City police officer, Gavin O'Connor serves as director and co-screenwriter of this tale of family, loyalty, and corruption. The NYPD runs in the Tierney family's blood. Francis Tierney Sr. (Jon Voight) is the Chief of Detectives, his son Ray (Edward Norton) is a detective, and his son Francis (Noah Emmerich) is in charge of the precinct where his son-in-law, Jimmy Egan (Colin Farrell), serves. When four officers who work in Francis's house die in a drug bust, Ray, a former wunderkind who has been lying low working on missing persons cases for the past few years, is appointed to investigate. But as he starts to put the pieces together, Ray realizes that all signs indicate there are some dirty police in the city, and worse yet, he may actually be related to some of them. Faced with the toughest decision of his life, Ray has to choose between his loyalty to his family and to the department, and decide what is right.A stellar cast supports this film, with strong performances from the four lead players and from the supporting actors who portray both criminals and police officers. Voight is the quintessential Irish-American father and cop who has risen through the ranks; he will do whatever it takes to protect his family. Norton and Emmerich play off each other well as brothers who have taken slightly different paths while dealing with their own personal heartaches. Farrell, meanwhile, convincingly plays Jimmy as a loving family man whose choices have led him to the brink of desperation. Lake Bell co-stars as Jimmy's wife and sister to Francis and Ray.

Editorial reviews

"[A] tightly acted and emotionally bruising corrupt-cop family drama that feels like the kind of serious, slow-burn NYPD movie nobody -- not even Lumet -- makes anymore....Edward Norton is in top form..." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Gregory Kirschling (10/31/2008)

4 stars out of 5 -- "As GLORY's hard center, Norton pitches an angry, frayed performance brimming with outrage and strikes sparks with an on-form Farrell, who seizes his character with gusto."
Total Film - Matt Mueller (12/01/2008)

3 stars out of 4 -- "PRIDE AND GLORY sizzles with a subversive subtext that questions blind loyalty to institutions, from the White House to Wall Street....Edward Norton is customarily excellent..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/30/2008)

"Employing some bold cinematographic choices, including a documentary-style POV that follows some of walking-talking action from behind, O'Connor mixes up the action and keeps the film buoyant."
Premiere - Karl Rozemeyer (10/24/2008)

3 stars out of 5 -- "It's an eminently serviceable thriller, then, one that sketches a convincing portrait of brotherhood among New York's Finest amid moments of effective high drama..."
Empire - Helen O'Hara (12/01/2008)

The Best Cop Film I've Seen In Years.

Created: 12/11/09
Hands down, this was the best cop film I've seen in years. Although there is a great deal of craziness, going on in this film. The actors in this film seem to be sincere in playing their roles as written and are right on target with the script. This film tries to create a nuance of something, but it's really hard to nail down. I think the film was supposed to cause you to really think how important honesty and integrity are in life as seen through the eyes of Ed Norton's character.

Colin Farrell, Edward Norton, Noah Emmerich, and Jon Voight all deliver great performances. There are many intense scenes throughout the movie, and Norton and Farrell match them with their own intensity. Voight is believable and realistic as the patriarch of the family of cops and the chief, trying to keep his family in order as he thinks it should be.

There are many inconsistencies in this film which cause me to laugh, but, I have to remember that this is Hollywood and it becomes much less important to tell a story the way you would tell it. Everyone will see this film in a different light, but the irony of the film makes it more interesting since the characterizations are less predictable. Maybe that's why the director intentionally created the film this way; to show how chaotic and unpredictable a single second in a NYPD cop's life really is.

4/5 for action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and story-line.

This is a story of a family of New York City cops. Homicide detective Ray Tierney (Edward Norton), who must investigate a precinct run by his brother (Noah Emmerich). Colin Farell plays Ray's partner who may also be dirty. Jon Voight and Jennifer Ehle also appear.

Its a good cop movie.

Created: 24/04/11
This is movie is basically about police in new york city. Some are good and do the right thing, some are corrupt. Its about the pride and glory of being a police officer. I would compare this movie similar to, we own the night. I would recommend it just because I enjoy cop movies.

Incredible performances by Norton, Voight, and Farrell (I know, right?) in a beautifully written story that makes you feel like the officer's partner and not behind a camera.
