Brooklyn's Finest

[socketlevel]

ya i agree great performances, from pretty much everyone. if i had to pick a weakest link it would be don cheadle, but he's still pretty good. really good direction too. i think the script could have been better though. i liked the character's motivations (especially ethan hawke's) but it all kind of comes together in an anti climatic way at the end.

I don't know what i think about that original twist. i guess i'd have to see it. i see why gere would do that from looking at the rest of his performance but i kind of don't see the point of the film if he does. it woulda been pretty bleak.

The alternate/Sundance ending sucked, but the new one is great. To understand the sundance ending you had to hearthe crazy deleted blowjob rant. My fave ending is the other alternate though, with Caz burning the paper. He was pretty cool.

Critics say this is a Wire rip-off or "not as good as the wire". That is some dumb shit. We already barely have any gritty cop dramas anymore and those with the balls to do them get taxed as copiers. I want Brooklyn's finest type movies for all cities. It's a great formula with the undercover stuff and drug-money stealing. It rocks.

I had a dream last night that this movie was all about a huge bank robbery with John Travolta as the "mastermind" and Bruce Willis as the "Hero" and I was thinking "This is great! Why did I hate Brooklyn's Finest so much before? It's the best pairing of these two since Pulp Fiction!" But then I woke up.
