TRUE REVIEW

Well it's only March and yet I already have my pick for the most disappointing movie of 2010. Brooklyn's Finest had so much promise. Antoine Fuqua is one of the best urban crime directors since Sidney Lument. You put together Richard Gere with Don Cheatle, Wesley Snipes and Ethan Hawke, you should have a great movie right? No so fast my fellow cinemafiles. With the exception of Gere, everyone is really good here, but they aren't given anything to work with. The plot is predictable, the scenarios implausible and the pacing is off. One good thing about this movie is the triumphant return of Wesley Snipes, he is terrific in his small role as an aging drug kingpin just returned from prison. Too bad Snipes and everyone else is wasted in this utterly forgettable mess.
