Interest Soars For The Movie Brookylns Finest
The just released film, Brookylns Finest, is supported by an all-star cast which was lead by director Antoine Fuqua. Written by Michael C. Martin, it takes place in Brownville’s Brooklyn division which is infamous for its rough and often violent way of life. This created the perfect backdrop for the focus on NYPD’s 65th precinct dealings throughout the area and one dreaded night in the neighborhood well-known as the Van Dyke Housing Projects.
One of the films outstanding features is the all-star cast that provides riveting performances that keep audiences drawn into the story. Renowned actors such as Wesley Snipes, Richard Gere, Lili Taylor, Jesse Williams, Ethan Hawke, Ellen Barkin, Don Cheadle and more take viewers through the hardships and problems faced by the men and women of the NYPD on a daily basis. The story reveals the personal and professional problems of three officers who must do almost anything to survive in this precinct.
The film was shot around the New York area including Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the city itself which allows viewers to see the complexity of the area which makes up an urban center of this magnitude. Action-packed sequences keep viewers on the edge of their seats and are intertwined, and complicate by, the personal lives of the three key players. In one of the first scenes, two men talking in a car results in the death and robbery of one only to find out that the shooter was a cop.
The complexities of personal lives are revealed throughout the movie which helps viewers understand how Brooklyn’s finest often walk a very thin line between right and wrong. Whether desperate for money, close to retirement, or tired of working undercover, the decisions they make are ultimately affected by the difficulties faced in their personal lives. The story climaxes when the three key Officers, who have developed their characters while on extremely different career paths, end up in the same, deadly setting at the same time.
The story that unfolds is intriguing for various reasons, one of which it is based on the personal experiences of writer Michael Martin. The writer grew up in this area of New York and is written in such a way as to help viewers unfamiliar with the area, to appreciate the difficulty of living in this area. Although it was filmed on a modest budget, due to the fact many of the actors felt it was a story that needed to be told, their lesser incomes helped bring the film to completion.
The movie was first seen at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and later the same year at the Venice Film Festival. After it was purchased and lost, due to financial problems, by a first distributor it was finally picked up by Overture Films which has resulted in major rewards. Although initial reviews have been mixed, the high quality acting and character development have served to support any weakness in the story line. Although critics thought it was very predictable, audiences did not agree as they have continued to find it enthralling.
Despite the reviews, in March 2010 the film opened in the #2 position grossing over $13 million dollars. To date that has increased to over $27 million in the US with an additional $34 million earned in the international market ranking it at #11 in the “Dirty Copy” movie field which covers all movies from 1973 to the present.
For those wanting to see what all the hype is about and why it’s #1 in DVD sales, it should be noted that Brookylns Finest is rated R because of drug content, violence, nudity, and sexual overtones. Despite what the critics have said it is a fast-paced, action-packed, thrill ride that will satisfy even the most discerning tastes for a real life drama.
