A gritty and emotional portrait of the New York City Police Department, the film follows a multi-generational police family whose moral code is tested when possible corruption splits the family. Ray Tierney (Edward Norton), one of two sons on the force, is asked by his father and Police Chief Francis (Jon Voight) to investigate an incendiary case involving his older brother (Noah Emmerich) and brother-in-law (Colin Farrell). On the surface it looks like a routine drug-bust gone terribly wrong, but as Ray digs deeper he starts to uncover details which will force the family to choose between their loyalties to one another and their loyalties to the department.

I went into the cinema thinking this was something similar to We Own The Night with Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix and it turned out to be nothing like it but sometimes it was bugging me because if you have seen We Own The Night you can't help comparing it straight away, well with me anyway. But this was a real cop and cash thriller of a film with some nail biting performances and keeps you really glued to the screen. It was a 130 mins film and you would never notice that so OK we have come across films with police corruption this was more where what's gonna happen next and ooh! I didn't expect that. This is Edward Norton at his best and probably Colin Farrel's best film to date.
Nice story line - Great action scenes but too much swearing fro my liking.
