Critics Consensus

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

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

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 don't know what's happening" Un policia que inviestiga un caso, descubre una red de corrupción que involucra a sus hermanos. Elegante. Intensa. Confusa. Divaga mucho en diferentes conflictos que no tienen relevancia, con un ritmo bastante pesado y cargado de información. En cuanto a la fotografía es excelente, tiene un muy buen paisaje urbano que narra correctamente el ambiente, utlizando buna iluminación, un impactante diseño de producción, y un elegante lenguaje cinematográfico. Hace referencias internas sobre la misma película, dando a entender que son personajes ficticios narrando una historia real. El pan diario en una agencia de policías, enfrentando corrupción, fraudes, traiciones y la violencia, que termina por penetrar y afectar la vida familiar. Un intenso thriller, que te distrae y confunde, pudiendo lograr un mayor impacto o terminar por perder el intetes del espectador. Quede insatisfecho y confundido. ¿Confias en tu hermano? Ma familia es primero. Técnica: 7.7 Expresión: 5.8 Efecto: 6.4 Experiencia: 6.5 Calificación: 6.6/10

One of those that I watched again and am struck by how its way better than I remember it being. Outstanding cast. The kind where every actor and actress were perfect for the parts they portrayed. Testament to the character development and writing. Well worth the watch.

I thought this was a great movie Severely underrated. It depicts the sometimes ugly but true underside of cops & robbers that goes on in a big city like New York. The performances by the cast was absolutely great, gritty and heart felt. A great drama. Every movie can't be gone with the wind or the king and I to be worthy of good reviews.

This was a pretty decent movie until the last 20 minutes or so. It looks like the writers gave up at that point.
