i must have seen a different film!!
A lot of fun.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
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.
(52%) This feels to me very much like a more crime related version of 2004's love or hate best film winner "Crash", with its similar themes surrounding both the good and bad things all people are actually capable and willing to do. On a plus side it's nice to see Wesley Snipes in a solid production playing a real character, and he's actually quite good here. So too is the cast in general which has bags of experience, star power and talent. On the down side though this overall is a touch too ploddingly slow and about 20 mins or so too long, but the interconnecting ending is worth the wait even if it is a little too neat and contrived to be necessarily all that believable.
There are so many clichés in this thriller, which somewhat overshadows some fine performances.Don Cheadle plays the cop undercover who feels a strong allegiance to a drug dealer (Wesley Snipes) that saved his life. He is trying to get out of the game, due to what it has cost him in terms of his family. He wants to make detective first grade, but he has to betray his friend in order to attain the life he wants.Ethan Hawke plays a cop who is breaking the law in order and taking money from drugs raids in order to save up to buy a house for sick wife & his growing family.Richard Gere play a burnt out cop with only a week left to retirement. He's seeing a prostitute whom he eventually falls for and drinking a lot. He is forced to take on a rookie partner due to a new training programme brought in. He tells his seniors he doesn't want this that he is not someone to look up to and a role model for the younger officers but they tell him its a new programme and he fits the requirements due to his experience.
Always skeptical of NYC cop dramas. I spent sometime moving through the Five Boroughs during the late 80's, early 90's and NYC always shocked me EVERY TIME! The minute we crossed the Verrazano Bridge, we were in a different place and time World for that matter. This Movie delivered Just that! The dark opening of the cemetery scene with NYC lights in the back drop had me on the edge of my seat trying to not to blink. Culturally I was only able to identify with Tango and Caz , played by Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes. However, Ethan Hawke and Richard Gere convinced me from start to finish that these characters exist and they are human which I do identify with completely. The reason I even cared to watch this film was due in part to Director, Antoine Fuqua, whose Training Day effort made me a fan of his Hands Down. He delivered the goods on this film. I believe it is a must see.
