MTV has a review of
Pride and Glory, starring Ed Norton and Colin Farrell:
It helps to have top actors in this sort of genre exercise, and O'Connor has recruited a sharp cast. Edward Norton plays Ray Tierney, a onetime narc now in self-imposed exile on the drab missing-persons beat. Ray's past involvement in an ethically dodgy operation has left him deeply disillusioned (and in the process of being divorced by his wife). He has no desire to return to the street. But when four police officers are killed in a screwed-up drug bust, Ray's father, Francis Tierney Sr. (played by Jon Voight), implores him to come onboard an investigation into what went wrong. ("I want cops we can trust," Dad says, a bit cryptically.) Hitting the street again, Ray starts asking questions of various Hispanic thugs and their wretched women (Ray has taken the trouble to learn Spanish) and examining overlooked evidence. Soon he comes to the conclusion that the drug gang that killed the cops was tipped off about the raid by an informant inside the police department.
Before long, to his deep dismay, Ray begins looking at his older brother, Franny (played by Noah Emmerich), a police inspector, in an alarming new light. And he grows ever more certain that his brother-in-law, Jimmy Egan (played by Colin Farrell), and Jimmy's two partners, Carbone (played by Frank Grillo) and Dugan (played by Shea Whigham), have turned into a corrupt and murderous rogue unit.
