"Brooklyn's Finest" centers around the everyday trials and tribulations of three Brooklyn police officers. One officer is seven days away from retirement, another is an undercover officer trying to flush out some serious drug traffic and trade, so he can make detective first grade and the other officer who is a family man with 4 children who finds himself desparately needing to make more money to buy a larger home, because his wife is pregnant with twins. The story unfolds from there...Lots of police type action, very bloody, violent, dark and often times very realistic looking. There is an extremely large amount of sexual content and nudity.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

As much as I would have loved to give this movie a great review because I like Antoine Fuqua and most of the actors in the film, I have to say this movie was pretty bad! It was just to many story lines and not enough substance to any of them. Most scenes were very unbelievable and unrealistic. With this line-up, Fuqua could have done a much better job!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I thought with such a line-up that this movie was going to be one I couldn't wait to see again. I was very disappointed. This movie should have had B-rated actors instead of headliners such as Snipes, Cheadle, and Gere. Just wait for this one to come on TV. This movie was terrible!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was the worst. It was all over the place and really did not make any sense. There was no need for Don, Ethan, and Richard (GREAT actors) if the the story line was going was going to be SO crappy. I was truly disappointed. I don't care to see it when it come on DVD.....
If you really want to see it for yourself, plz do. Don't let my opinion keep u from the movies.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Snipes is back! He adds credibility and intensity to this movie about desperate cops and the crazy streets they work. I especially enjoyed the tricky no-win relationship between Cheadle and Snipes' characters. Ethan Hawke was also quite good and his story made you think about the inner conflicts cops encounter whenever they touch a bunch of money. This movie follows several different characters through their personal lives and their experiences and climaxes in an explosive ending that's not to be missed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you like skin (particularly breasts), along with blood, then this movie is for you. Now, if you love a suspenseful plot or even just a plot, then this movie isn't for you. Bang, bang, bang. BMW 745. Breast, nipple, breast. BMW 745. Blood, blood, blood. BMW 745. Bang, bang, bang. Other than making this movie more violent than Training Day, I do not know the objective of the director. There's enough blood and breasts in the movie to serve as a distraction if that is your cup of tea. I prefer a grande plot instead.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

We’ve seen police catering to their own inner demons in dozens of previous pictures. If you’re going to revisit formula, you better have a spectacular story to tell or a great set of compelling characters to occupy it. This film has neither - just some inherent electricity and a decent job at blowing bullet holes through people. There is a lot of violence, but it doesn’t have the presumed impact the film anticipates. Like everything else here, it feels forced and way too familiar, the novelty of such nastiness for me having worn off long ago. Even the ending, which tries to surprise us by tying three stories together in one sickening display of human misery after another, fails to engage or truly entertain. All 4 stars are miscast.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Although this was not just another mindless blood-letting film, it still lacked the punch needed to take it to the next level. Motivation and characterization were adequate. Hawke's character was by-far the most developed; Gere's was the least. This is a very gritty movie with graphic violence and sexual content. Like many have said, the ending was disappointing and predictable, and it did drag at times. Not recommended for those who cannot handle bloody violence.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It was just ok. Ethan Hawke was great in it I thought. Couldnt believe Richard Gear was the only one left alive and it was a real disappointing ending. Some people actually walked out of the movie. It was during the sex scene with Gear but still its never good when people walk out. I will probably not reccomend this movie just wait til it comes out on cable.

Very slow movie with a plot that you are lead to believe is growing... yet the climax is dissappointing and fairly predictable. With the cast of actors involved you would think that this would be a better film. There is nothing special about this movie. Seeing it once is enough...
Did not like Richard Gere in his role. Ethan Hawke definitely exihibits his great acting skills and his performance is very respectable.

Excellent story, compelling cinematography, glued together with superb acting. Parallel stories of Hawke's flawed, pathetic drug detective, Gere's flawed, apathetic patrol officer, and Cheadle's flawed but sensitive undercover officer painted with the grittiness of New York streets and and urban dialog draws the viewer into the story,
A must see of this genre!

Knowing that the producers wrote Training Day which was excellent, I thought I would walk away feeling the same; but, I was quite disappointed. Meaning, the movie was slow to reach it's story line. It seemed as the producers tried to many angles to tell the story. It was a continuation of New Jack City, meeting Training Day with the concept of Crash. With an ending confirming no sequeal.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's a movie that has great potential that never lives up to the hype....the amount of action was minimal to say the least...Besides a few gun battles...that was it... a lot of talking and the story for all of them was not that great..just a bunch of guys looking for drug money and the old guy tryna find a reason to live..other than that...i was really not impressed and more dissapointed because i am wesley snipes fan...and they actually killed him in the daytime wearing a nice sweater...wtf!!!...i say wait till dvd..Just my opinion

I was pretty much expecting what everyone else was expecting, something like training day, only more action. The movie itself was good, just a little too slow at some parts. The acting was great, but i agree that the ending was a little of a let down, I was expecting more of all three stories to tie in together better.

I thought this movie would be excellent like Training Day, given its director and the four great actors. The actors did a great job, however, it was hard to keep up with the movie. There were so many stories going on at the same time.
It was filled with action and suspense.

I'm really disappointed in this movie. A lot of great stars. However, I think the storyline was mishandled from beginning to end. This was over a 2 hour movie and the producer/directors could not pull the plots (incomplete) together in this timeframe. It seems the more great stars the worst the movie becomes.

The last few seconds of the movie were a bit of a let down.... maybe they could have delayed releasing this to make inprovements.... but the rest of the movie, leading up to these few seconds that might let you down, was really good.
