Great performance from Colin Farrell and Edward Norton. A bit heavy movie though, with a strong theme about corruption among NY cops. The bar scene fight was the only "light" part, when folks in the theater broke a smile. The music was good, but the storyline was mostly predictable, except for the radical conclusion. Leaves you wondering where they tried to do a Serpico?

If you like movies about cops gone bad try a couple of the classics "Magnum Force" (Dirty Harry) and "Internal Affairs", you really hate Gere in this flick and love it when he gets popped by Garcia.

Really well acted movie. All the actors did a terrific job. It is pretty scarey to think that this kind of stuff really happens.

This movie really is under-rated. I've barely heard anything about it before today and I did not mind the slow start at all. Acting is superb throughout. Script is a little disappointing at times - the F bomb is dropped about 8 milllliiioonnn times which is effective in giving the movie an edge, but also degrading to the point that it's almost a laughable word by the end of the movie. The plot continuously thickens and really kept me on the edge of my seat, however the ending was a little offbeat. Still not bad, but I wouldn't have minded staying another 30 minutes or so for more development near the end. There are a few people in the movie that do not get an ending. You're left wondering what happened to them, but there is no resolution... and this is not the sequel kind of movie so I'm not so sure how I think about that. Overall- pretty well written, excellent acting, good plot, great setting (everybody loves an NYC movie) and probably loosely based on a true story. 4.5/5 * from me.

Excellent acting and solid story line make this a must see. You could feel for characters who are in tough positions and must decide between doing the right thing and protecting family. Somewhat violent at times but I've seen much worse. Overall very entertaining and well made.
