Drama A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers. The family's moral codes are tested when Ray Tierney (Edward Norton), investigates a case that reveals an incendiary police corruption scandal involving his own brother-in-law (Colin Farrell). For Ray, the truth is revelatory, a Pandora's Box that threatens to upend not only the Tierney legacy but the entire NYPD.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Yes, it's a police drama, but not the kind that clogs up TV with bullets and clichés (...) Directed with grit and grace (...) Its value is unquestionable as drama and moral provocation (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It follows the well-worn pathways of countless police dramas before it. (...) sensationally bad ending (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"The entire enterprise, which supposedly celebrates honor in a cynical world, succumbs to rank cynicism itself. (...) Pride and Glory would be risible if it weren't so reprehensible."	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Not especially good, but there is enough rough artistry in Mr. O’Connor’s direction to make you wish the film were better. (...) The story, while none too fresh has a certain rough potency. "	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A top-notch cast including Edward Norton, Colin Farrell and Jon Voight really get the job done (...) O'Connor keeps an effectively firm grip on the material"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Heavy, doom-laden and, unfortunately, entirely predictable, director Gavin O'Connor's murky drama applies epic aspirations to a story all too familiar from any number of films and TV shows."	NEG
