The Word On... Pride and Glory

"The final 15 minutes are so awful that it's difficult to believe that the bulk of the film is decent. Some movies can survive a bad climax well enough to receive a recommendation. 'Pride and Glory' is not among their number." - James Berardinelli, www.reelviews.net

"The script, co-written by Joe Carnahan and director Gavin O'Connor, is a rich character study with an execution that squanders it." - www.killermovie reviews.com

"For all its shamelessness, 'Pride and Glory' is too dull to work even as camp; at least Colin Farrell's performance gives it some much-needed pulpy energy. The same can't be said of Edward Norton, who sleepwalks blearily through the film." - Nathan Rabin, www.avclub.com

"Pride and Glory may not break any really new ground, but it brings to the cop-flick genre overtones and complexities of a kind with which it's not often concerned." - Kurt Loder, www.mtv.com

"'Pride and Glory' is a violent film about police corruption that holds your interest but is actually pretty run of the mill. If anything elevates it, it is the acting talent on display." - Jackie Cooper, www.jackiekcooper.com
