Stuck in Luton yesterday due to my flight being cancelled, and with a few hours to kill went to see Brooklyn's Finest - it was either that or Prince of Persia and I just could not bring myself to go see that.
Brooklyn's Finest wasn't actually that bad once you got over every stylistic cue and cliche from every Noo Yoik cop film you've ever seen - Cop wakes up sweating from bad dream in sparse room and reaches for a bottle of Whiskey - check (all that was missing was the ceiling fan/fade to chopper a la Apocalypse Now) - Irish-American Catholic iconography and confessional scene - check - Cop about to retire forced to take rookie cop on and show him the ropes - check - Cop working undercover doesn't know where the line between good/bad, his gangsta crew/colleagues is anymore -check - Cop turns bad and steals drug money to make better future for family - check.etc etc etc
Oh yeah - and best of all, a drug scene with White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane playing in the background.....ha ha....ha hahhhhhh ha haaaaah haaaah hah hah
