Review: Pride and Glory
Dark cop drama that has to have it from family conflict. Disappointingly, most thrills are subdued due to the fact there’s no real hidden agenda, and the viewer gets to see and know about things at the beginning. After that, it follows the path taken already by many many other movies. There’s totally no surprise left, and even with good acting (Jon Voight, Edward Norton and Colin Farrell), it feels a bit disappointing.
Director Gavin O’Connor throws away chance to show what he’s worth with big stars (previously only directing smaller movies), with most blame going to his own weak script.6½.
