Pride and Glory
- 03 Nov 2008
There’s more pride than glory in this throwback cop drama, a movie so firmly in the tradition of heavyweight thrillers like Serpico, Prince of the City and Q and A that you would think the script must have Sidney Lumet’s fingerprints all over it. In fact it’s written by Gavin O’Connor, who made Tumbleweeds and the hockey movie Miracle, and Joe Carnahan, who made Narc and Smokin’ Aces.

It's a stylish, confident caper movie that cruises along for two hours without breaking into a sweat. The crew's second reunion is occasioned by the collapse of an ailing Reuben (Elliott Gould), cheated out of a partnership in a new Vegas hotel by the ruthless casino magnate Willie Banks (Al Pacino). To square things up, Danny and the boys... Read more
