Starz / Anchor Bay - Brooklyn's Finest [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

This movie was in my opinion a great movie. The acting was good. Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle give great performance. The dialogue was good. The directing was fantastic, one of Antoine Fuqua's (the director of training day) best. The movie is not putting an emphasis on inner city life but the spotlight on 3 inner city cops surrounded by the pressures that cops face every day. You have one that has a large family and makes hardly any money but is surrounded by drug money and the temptation of it swirls around him. Then you have one undercover cop dealing with personal problems, he wants to do good becoming emotionally connected with the people he is working to bust. Then you have a burned out cop who has seen everything, has a drinking problem and is just trying to make it to retirement. This movie was not meant to be bright but dark and the music supports that. There is a lot of cursing but what do you expect from cops that deal with drug dealers everyday and people who don't appreciate them being there to help them, there is nudity but not very much of it and in my opinion this film is not stereotyping blacks, but can come across this if you look for stereotyping all the time. I recommend this movie for any movie collection.

great movie.. 4 different stories about 4 different law enforcement people different fields, but its a thriller.
