Pride and Glory is the kind of film that reminds me why cinema feels weak and watered-down in the 2020s. We just don’t get movies like this anymore — no politics shoved in, no agendas, no woke. Just crime, corruption, New York, and actors actually doing their job.
Edwards Norton and Colin Farrell deliver Oscar-level performances. The film is gritty, grounded, cold, and beautifully done. This is the exact tone crime dramas should aim for.
The supporting cast is stacked too — Shea Whigham, Frank Grillo, John Ortiz guys who show up for five minutes and still leave a mark. Ortiz being in every crime movie ever is hilarious but also accurate.
Only 3.1/5 on Letterboxd is absurd, not enough wokeness i guess?
