status: 2009; on dvd
rating: * * (2 out of 5 stars)
The most recent film by Antione Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter, King Arthur) starring Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke as Brooklyn cops all looking for stability. Gere as a low-end traffic cop on the verge of retiring, Hawke as an underpaid cop trying to support his large family, and Cheadle as a successful undercover cop who wants his old life back, must face some tough decisions.
The idea is ok and the cast is decent, but the film doesn't really deliver. It's kind of a stagnant cop flick with very few glimmers of excitement. Coming from the guy who did Training Day and cast like this, I expected better. I guess this just adds another mediocre film to Fuqua's collection.
