A gritty and emotional portrait of the New York City Police Department, the film follows a multi-generational police family whose moral code is tested when possible corruption splits the family. Ray Tierney (Edward Norton), one of two sons on the force, is asked by his father and Police Chief Francis (Jon Voight) to investigate an incendiary case involving his older brother (Noah Emmerich) and brother-in-law (Colin Farrell). On the surface it looks like a routine drug-bust gone terribly wrong, but as Ray digs deeper he starts to uncover details which will force the family to choose between their loyalties to one another and their loyalties to the department.

Top stuff *****

lucpicard from , 13th November, 2008

I went into the cinema thinking this was something similar to We Own The Night with Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix and it turned out to be nothing like it but sometimes it was bugging me because if you have seen We Own The Night you can't help comparing it straight away, well with me anyway. But this was a real cop and cash thriller of a film with some nail biting performances and keeps you really glued to the screen. It was a 130 mins film and you would never notice that so OK we have come across films with police corruption this was more where what's gonna happen next and ooh! I didn't expect that. This is Edward Norton at his best and probably Colin Farrel's best film to date.

Why the bad taste

100 club from London, 28th February, 2009

I was really looking forward to watching this film , so i'm a little disappointed. The film isn't bad, but its not great either, It's got the plot , good actors, so why does it leave a bad taste in your mouth. Maybe the story is streached out too far , perhaps the film is just to long. Colin Farrell has acted better in the film 'In Bruges', but there again he isn't bad in this either. I can't put my finger on exactly whats wrong with this film, but something is, perhaps someone can help me out?.

Oh No!!!

pKirky from , 1st March, 2009

I am a big fan of Edward Norton - he's the type of actor that doesn't really like doing big blockbuster films he goes for quality thats why with this film I was really disappointed. Edward always tackles his roles with conviction and he embodies whatever part he plays and does no fault here. However the film, for me, just didn't seem to work. Yes Police corruption is always a fascinating subject to watch if it's done well such as L.A. Confidential however comparisons will be made to We Own The Night which is not a good thing since that film wasn't great either. Colin Farrell is suited to his role in this film however the connection and chemistry between him and Norton is lacking which I think contibutes to the disappointment. Some parts are entertaining but not many to keep you entertained - better luck next time

Gave up I'm afraid

A Customer from Huddersfield, 9th February, 2010

This might be your cup of tea but I guess it wasn't my idea of evening viewing. I can cope with swearing in films if there is a good story line that grips me from the beginning but this one just had the swearing and a lot of it. And I know the NYPD probably do this a lot in the course of their work so maybe it reflects reality but even so, this wasn't for me. Gave up after 15 minutes. You might have more luck with it.
