I've seen that movie too
25 October 2008
The film starts out well enough, it is interesting, gritty and Edward Norton really does a great job. Colin Farrell, Noah Emmerich, and Jon Voight, also do a good job with the material at hand. But very soon you start asking yourself, "Didn't I see this film before?" It seems to be the same story I have seen at least Ten times. Family, some good cops some bad cops, Divorce, internal affairs, cops take care of their own, will they let it go, or will they stand up and do the right thing? Although the actors try their best, they cannot do enough to save this generic police story. The movie eventually starts to degrade into mere clichés and stereotypes that make the last half of the movie very irrational. Please, someone in Hollywood, come up with an original idea.
