Alicia I love this movie so much

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

sacratez I've seen this movie a couple of times before this. It just gets better and makes you wonder what a police officer does start out in pay in all the boroughs of NY City. Richard Gere plays a good role in which his story line doesn't cross into the other. Don Chedle on the other hand has his story line eventually enter twine with another. Good Cop, bad cop as it ends. Spectacular acting and editing along with the the directors. You won't be disappointed.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of three Brooklyn policemen who have very different career paths. One is undercover, another is rogue and the third is about to retire in a few days. Their paths cross unexpectedly and tragically in a separate incidents that converge into one."Brooklyn's Finest" somehow does not keep me interested in it. The characters are mostly unlikable and unsympathetic, and I cannot connect with any of them. Their world and my world are vastly different, and I cannot relate to the characters at all. As a result, I could not get into the story at all. I find the story convoluted and lacking in an emotional climax despite what happens at the end. Perhaps the film is a good film, but it is not for me.

Leofwine_draca Another 'corrupt cop' thriller, of which there are so many these days. This one's directed by Antoine Fuqua, who made TRAINING DAY with Denzel Washington, so he has some experience in the genre.BROOKLYN'S FINEST, while telling a complex and inventive story, never grabbed me the way it should have done. It may be because the production is just too miserable for its own good. The whole film takes place in darkness and even in the daylight scenes, the faces of the actors are shadowed.The relentlessly downbeat script and frequent moments of harsh violence add to the overall experience, which is depressing. The tropes and themes that all been explored many times previously and, while the film certainly keeps you watching, I didn't come away from it feeling awed or wowed in the same way I did watching STREET KINGS.Still, the acting is strong, especially from Richard Gere who plays a VERY different character from those in his rom-coms. It's a real surprise to see him taking part in scenes involving a prostitute which are a far cry from the glossy fantasy of PRETTY WOMAN. Ethan Hawke, one of the most haggard-looking actors on the planet, fits his hangdog role like a glove, and only the overrated Don Cheadle proves a weak point. Watch out for Wesley Snipes in a decent cameo, though.

sddavis63 I can't say that I found anything particularly noteworthy about "Brooklyn's Finest." The title gives the clearest signal as to what it's about: NYPD officers in Brooklyn - one (Richard Gere) just a few days from retirement and largely uninterested in the job and so playing out the string, one (Ethan Hawke) struggling with finances as he awaits the arrival of twins, and one (Don Cheadle) hoping to get out of undercover work and be promoted to detective. They aren't connected to each other, but they get unknowingly caught up in the same drug investigation, and the movie morphs into yet another of those "unrelated stories that eventually intersect" plots. No, I'm not really a big fan of that format.The leads are strong enough. Gere, Cheadle, and Hawke all do well enough, and they all pull off the challenge of being largely unsympathetic characters who at the same time have sympathetic elements to them. They all have their own personal demons and challenges. Add Wesley Snipes into the mix and you have a solid cast. It is, however, quite heavy on clichés. The police are untrustworthy and unreliable to say the least and pretty much every black character is either a drug dealer, a pimp or a prostitute (or at least is sympathetic to them.) Eventually (and interspersed throughout) this descends into little more than a blood bath. Most importantly, it just really isn't that interesting. Every movie needs a redeeming character for the viewer to identify with and root for. This movie had no redeeming characters of note.Overall, this is really just a reasonably well-acted but largely unpleasant movie. (4/10)
