PRIDE AND GLORY (2008) B++

Pride and GloryVery good cop Action-Adventure movie. Takes place in in Washington Heights in Manhattan, the neighborhood I lived in as I was growing up. A lot of action takes place at 185th Street and Audubon Avenue. Now primarily populated by Hispanics. Mostly poor. (I wonder how my colony of roaches are doing).

The plot involves good cops, bad cops, cops in families, cop brutality, cop loyalty to other cops, drug dealers, and last but not least position, power and money. Nothing new. But a couple of steps up from Law and Order. Excellent acting, cinematography very good and excellent music.
