James Berardinelli
Fuqua's portrait of Brooklyn is brutal and gritty; if only his characters were as vivid.

Sara Vilkomerson
Mr. Gere is miscast as Eddie, too naturally regal in bearing to be the screw-up he’s supposed to be, and for a broken man, he still moves with the same confidence as his younger self did in "An Officer and a Gentleman."

It’s more like "Hamlet" -- the ending, at least, with enough blood and corpses to fill a housing project. The only thing missing is a point, which Fuqua circles for two hours without landing.

Ellen Barkin provides unexpected diversion in a madwoman cameo as the PD's brassiest brass. But otherwise the clichés keep coming.

In the end, audiences will be neither shaken nor stirred. Just bored and confused.
