Brooklyn's Finest (Review)

What I knew going in:
Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, and Don Cheedle star in a cop film where three cops will end up in the same deadly location at the same time through unconnected events.  Written by Michael Martin who did a lot of the writing for Showtime's Sleeper Cell, which was a great show.

Hype:
Meh.  I've only seen about a million cop movies.  What can this one offer that I haven't seen before?  Sounds like a remake of Crash with more cops.

Opening Thoughts:
Pretty much exactly what I thought.  Cops being cops.  Justifying excessive use of force against criminals who clearly deserve it.   Requisite car chase.  Blah Blah Blah. 

Bottom Line:
Yeah OK we get it.   It sucks to be a cop.  Doesn't matter if its L.A., New York, Chicago, or any other big city.  Terrible things happen to good people and the ends don't justify the means.  Nothing about this movie is original or interesting in the least.  Go watch something else.
