Critics Consensus

Formulaic in its plotting and cliched in its dialogue, Pride and Glory does little to distinguish itself from other police procedurals.

The Age (Australia)

Hard to watch, hard to listen to and hard to follow.

Rated: 1.5/5

David Stratton

The Australian

The actors in Pride and Glory do their best with this cliched material, but the film is so grim, ugly and miserable that it's difficult to sympathise with even the most positive characters.

Rated: 2/5

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

While its kinetic appeal does have a numbing - if temporary effect - on your critical faculties, television has been much more successful in claiming this territory as its own.

Rated: 3/5

Film Frenzy

Pride and Glory boasts such a generic and instantly forgettable title that viewers might remember the film as Honor and Justice or Law and Order or Cops and Crooks or, with apologies to Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment.

Rated: 2/4

Mike Massie

Gone With The Twins

In its attempt to expose corruption, greed, and massive unscrupulousness, the film produces zero likeable characters and many unnecessary pieces.

Rated: 3/10

From the Front Row

By the end O'Connor has achieved something that, while not quite extraordinary, is still quite notable for the tension it builds and its powerhouse payoff.

I always enjoyed this movie. Still do 16 years later. Great actors and it's a storyline I haven't seen a million times. The ending was shocking.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Pride and Glory was released in theatres in 2008 and stars Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight, and Noah Emmerich. It's a story about a family of NYPD officers and a corruption investigation that threatens to tear the family apart. The officers portrayed in the movie repeatedly lie during investigations, commit crimes, and even murder suspects. To be fair the acting was pretty good, especially Norton and Farrell, but the plot was just too ridiculous to take seriously. I get that they were going for a gritty police drama but all of this has been done before in better movies with better writing. For me this was an average at best cop movie with unlikeable characters and a bad ending. I'd skip this and watch Serpico or The Departed instead.

Apesar do roteiro pobre, a história consegue mostrar performances geniais para a tela, além de despertar a empatia do público. Assisti torcendo para que a verdade viesse a tona.
