The trailer is much more interesting to watch than the movie itself. I wanted so much to like this, but I simply cannot enjoy the movie! And what’s wrong with the ending, bytheway? Watch it, and you’ll see what I mean. Acting-wise, the four main casts, ie Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, are neck to neck against each other. Their performance weigh strongly, well maybe Snipes got less shoots that’s all. Story-wise, it has potentials alright, otherwise I would switch it off halfway. But as the movie progresses, it becomes pointless and tiresome. The twist at the (almost) ending doesn’t help to lighten up the ruined mood either. Being good doesn’t pay, being bad also the same. Being a hero impresses no one, being the villain gets nothing. Blah, what’s the point?! This is war, this is Brooklyn and everything is bitter!
My rating: 2/6
