(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 23% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "Overlong, overwrought, and overbearing at times, Pride and Glory is all 'boys in blue' bluster masquerading as an amped up A-list thriller."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B+ "A superlative demonstration of a brotherhood-of-the-badge stranglehold, rooting itself in outstanding character composition to alleviate the worry of cliché. It's a wonderfully compelling drama, bruised to near-perfection."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B- "Pride and Glory works better as an actors' showcase than it does as a well-worn genre thriller."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/10 "By the time Eladio (Rick Gonzalez) makes his single-scene appearance in Pride and Glory, the fate of his adversary has been exhaustively telegraphed."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs C+ "Completely falls apart during its over-the-top ridiculously violent climax."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1.5/4 "May be mediocre for its first 100 minutes, but it falls completely apart in a climax that is overwrought, silly, and damagingly misdirected."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "Grim, abrasive, and hard to watch, full of swaggering men shouting at each other like high school drama students who have just learned how to be vulgar."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "A middling film, an overwrought and occasionally laughable corrupt cop drama that you've seen countless times."   Cinematical   Eugene Novikov C "Covers territory that would be familiar even if We Own the Night hadn't taken us there just a year ago, to equally boring effect."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A multigenerational police family is torn apart by greed and violence."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "It wants to be different; yet, in the end, the elements that separate this police corruption film from those with similar themes and subjects are those that derail the climax and send this freight train careening out of control."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "...only skims the surface of its characters and offers nothing new in the way of corrupt law enforcement."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "What it lacks in subtlety and intelligence it makes up in violence, brutishness, and hackneyed story lines. These are qualities best enjoyed at home."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards D "with all this talent, these folks managed to make a movie that is about as appealing as two-week-old mayonnaise slathered on a cow patty"   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr B "...some fine acting and a lot of gritty realism that make this film...feel like it bubbled up from the Brooklyn/Bronx neighborhoods where it is set."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Elevated by superb performances, led by Edward Norton and a very chilling Colin Farrell."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2.5/4 "That noise you hear is the soundtrack of We Own the Night, which is playing next door in the multiplex of your memory. Yes, there are undeniable similarities between the two pictures."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C- "Over-used clichés like a slow-motion funeral procession in the snow and over-used dialogue like "You got no idea what it takes to do what we do." Now that's a crime."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "Pride and Glory's commentary on law enforcement vice and decency is far less immediate and realistic than its gritty aesthetic and tone would have one believe."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Uma pena que o filme jamais consiga escapar realmente do lugar comum, implodindo de vez em seu terrível terceiro ato."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 " this is the kind of ridiculously routine by-the-number police procedural that is available on TV for free every week and the sight of such talented actors following in lockstep to such a familiar narrative is almost too depressing to comprehend."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski B "...a good film that could have been great."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford C "[Gavin] O'Connor never captures the edge of danger, anger and moral stands being ground up in compromise."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/5 "stitched together with a thick emotional fabric that is weaved by the excellent cast"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "Despite the solid performances, it's a misery-laden, all-too-conventional corrupt cop story."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 23% Rotten Page   1
