Brooklyn’s finest is about three different cops that take different career paths and are involved in a huge drug bust.

Richard Gere plays Officer Eddie Dugan, a veteran cop, who is days from retiring. Don Cheadle plays Detective Clarence “Tango” Buttler who is undercover and trying to keep his cover. Ethan Hawke plays Detective Salvatore “Sal” Procida who is struggling to support his large family. Wesley Snipes plays Caz. He is Tango’s prison buddy and one of Brooklyn’s most infamous drug dealers. Jesse Williams plays a rookie Officer Eddie Quinlan. Will Patton plays Bill Hobarts, the lieutenant watching over Tango’s undercover work. Brian F. O’Byrne plays Officer Ronny Rosario, a member of Sal’s narcotics team. Micheal Kenneth Williams plays a member of Caz’s entourage.

This movie takes place in a rough section of Brooklyn. The focuses on how the cops use different gangs and big money drug dealers to take another gang down as well as how different generations of cops catch criminals.

Richard Gere’s character Eddie Dugan is a week from retiring from the force. After twenty- two years in the force he is a drunk and the only friend he has is a prostitute. Tango has been trying to get a promotion for a while and final gets the chance, but to do so he must betray his long time friend Caz. Sal is trying to provide for his growing family and putting a down payment on a house while also keeping his family safe.

I think that acting was just right. All of the actors seemed to play their parts just right. The acting was mediocre. It wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t spectacular. I give this movie three stars. It wasn’t terrible but the movie didn’t blow my mind. I thought that it was going to be better.
