Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The best things about Brooklyn's Finest are the one-on-one scenes. These are fine actors. Read full review

Sara Vilkomerson

Mr. Gere is miscast as Eddie, too naturally regal in bearing to be the screw-up he’s supposed to be, and for a broken man, he still moves with the same confidence as his younger self did in "An Officer and a Gentleman." Read full review

Nathan Rabin

To quote Yogi Berra, it’s déjà vu all over again. Read full review

Liam Lacey

Each of the actors has strong moments but the relentless intensity becomes monotonous. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Like Tango, Sal and Eddie, Mr. Fuqua and Mr. Martin dig themselves into a pulpy predicament, and then find themselves unable to do anything but shoot their way out. The movie is wounded, but it’s also too tough to kill. Read full review

Peter Rainer

Brooklyn’s Finest does indeed provide a new genre twist. This must be the only cop movie ever made where a character is driven off the deep end by mold. Read full review

Peter Travers

Simultaneously full of itself and full of sh--, Brooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies. Read full review

In my eyes, Antoine Fuqua is a one hit wonder, much like Carl Douglasâ

The lives of 3 veteran Brooklyn PD officers, all from different spectrums of the force seemingly intertwine in this gritty, realistic cop movie led by powerful performances by Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, Wesley Snipes and especially Richard Gere.

Antonine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" passes its exaggerated cliches and foolish dialogue to present a grim, realistic buddy cop environment with powerful acting from veteran actors.

"Brooklyn's Finest"

**1/2

In my opinion Brooklyn's Finest was an average movie at best. I think I might of expected so much because of the great cast thats in it. It feels like something is missing towards then end and the ending is some what unpredictable but for me it wasn't my favorite film by Fuqua. Overall the movie was average at best and I say "Rent it".… Expand
