\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I just came back from the cinema, where I watched “Brooklyn’s Finest<\/a>“.\u00a0 It’s a rather slow developing drama picturing three separate stories of three New York cops.\u00a0 While there is nothing in particular outstanding about this film, overall it is quite good and enjoyable.\u00a0 Some of the things it shows are more realistic than in many other movies, some – not.\u00a0 It’s not particularly too far-fetched, but probably not something that would happen in real life.\u00a0 Quite close though.<\/p>\n

I think this film is trying to give you something to think about.\u00a0 It actually spells out the idea in the first scene, first dialogue.\u00a0 But because the rest of it somewhat slow, the message gets lost in the process.\u00a0 If not completely lost, then for sure it doesn’t sound as clear as it did in the beginning of the film.\u00a0 Maybe it was the idea, maybe it wasn’t – I don’t know.\u00a0 But I thought it would have been better if the message was carried across a bit louder.<\/p>\n

This is not a film for a romantic Friday evening or a family Saturday morning, but there is enough good in it for me to recommend it.\u00a0 Either pick a slow day and see it in the movies, or grab the DVD.\u00a0\u00a0 4 out of 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
