"Simultaneously full of itself and full of shite, Brooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies..." Kinda funny to me. I did not even know they gave zero starts. Hell even Cop Out got 2 stars. LINK

RS also gave three stars to the New Moon soundtrack.

That movie is being marketed off of the success Training Day had. I knew right there this movie would be garbage. Movies that try to sell themselves based on another movie = fail.

I thought it was good, once you got past some of the cliches. To give it zero stars despite the performances that Don Cheadle and Ethan Hawke gave is just stupid.

Catching heat up here as insulting to cops, listen up cops, we all know Giuliani cleaned up the city and you were a big part of that and are a top notch police force, the movie is FICTION you CRYBABIES

Rolling Stone's reviews have lost most credibility. They gave Yoko Ono's new album 3.5 out of 4 stars.

I hope Inception is going to be an exception here... it's being completely marketed off the success of TDK, but I think that's more because they don't want to reveal any of the plot at all.

It wasn't that bad. Just kind played out.

Don Cheadle was very good.

Ethan Hawke was borderline oscar-worthy, IMO. He really stole the movie.

I don't think we have to worry about Inception. The key difference is that Inception and The Dark Knight are two totally different movies as the plots are nothing alike.

I would give it one star. Thought it sucked pretty bad.
