Review: Pride & Glory

“Pride and Glory” is about two things, a family and the NYPD. Jon Voight is a senior member of the force, whose two sons are also “on the job,” as NY cops describe their occupation. Edward Norton, his younger son, had been in internal affairs and when some unexplained murders occur in a precinct commanded by his older brother, he’s urged to back on an investigative team by his father. In a shocking scene we learn the root of the corruption, none other than Voight’s son in law, played by Colin Farrell, here supervising his two corrupt cohorts in destroying evidence of a drug dealer they’d just murdered. You do get a sense of New York, where this movie was filmed, the streets, the police jargon and the sense of danger every time that radio crackles.
