Critics Consensus

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

Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Hard to watch, hard to listen to and hard to follow. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 13, 2009 Full Review 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 Feb 6, 2009 Full Review 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 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Mattie Lucas 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. Rated: 3/4 Jul 7, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...another strong drama from a seriously underrated filmmaker. Rated: 3/4 Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Pantera O "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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Terry H 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Steve B 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review CT 8 This was a pretty decent movie until the last 20 minutes or so. It looks like the writers gave up at that point. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review steve d Shockingly straightforward despite some fantastic actors involved. No surprises to be found. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review isla s This film features a lot of quite quiet/low (mumbled) dialogue which I found hard to follow. However, it is more characted focussed than action centric, which I prefer but I thought some aspects of the plot were a little unclear, although the general theme of crooked cops was fairly obvious. Its no wonder this film wasnt released for a fair while after 9/11 took place, as I believe is the case - crooked NYPD cops, just what would have cheered people up at that time but in any case, this film is ok. Its obviously a bit gritty and urban and it features quite a lot of shaky camerawork, which I don't particularly like. Its one thing if its in context, i.e. the plot equates to a lot of panic and shaky surroundings but this wasn't always the case and so I found it a bit distracting. Ultimately it was the quiet dialogue that frustrated me most, so I'm only giving this a 3 star rating due to that issue and the shaky camerawork. Overall I wouldn't recommend this film, no.
