Eddie Dugan police veteran is retiring just a week and all you have in mind is your fishing lodge in Connecticut. Narcotics Officer Sal Procida does not know which line to cross to get them a better life for their long-suffering wife and seven children. And Tango Clarence Butler takes so long to criminals who infiltrated their loyalty has begun to swing between their police colleagues and his fellow prisoner Caz.
“Brooklyn’s Finest”, the new from Antoine Fuqua, is a pint truly amazing. I’m content with it being half as good as “Training Day”, which is undoubtedly one of the best action movies of recent years police.

The latest is in a movie called “Brooklyn’s Finest,” scheduled to open on March 5. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Ellen Barkin, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, the movie revolves around three police officers (Cheadle, Hawke and Gere) who participate in a massive drug seizure when the police department New York – traditionally dubbed “New York’s Finest” – try to clean the housing group BK, ravaged by drugs, despite endemic corruption District 65 in Brooklyn.
“I am a police officer that is worn a few days to retire and go live in your ideal fishing lodge,” explains Gere. “It’s a guy who is just doing time.”
“Eddie (Gere) is the most complex of the three, it is more internal,” Fuqua said in separate interview. “It’s hard to understand. The guy is a ghost. He has lost his soul and now just wanders through life.”
“The challenge of this role was not to interpret it to a ridiculous,” says Gere on his part. “I did not want to be a more formal end of his career. Fortunately, the storyline is well written and emotional … It reminds me of ‘Othello’ and ‘Richard III’ because it addresses the big issues.”
The cast, first line, did not rehearse a lot, but anyway, Gere was not excited about the tests.
“For me, the trials are a thing of, ‘OK let’s review the script and decide what to do,” explains Gere. “To me, that leads to a bad film. I think making a film must be something much more mysterious and creative.
“The most important thing is to feel confident, be comfortable and confident,” says Gere. “So we had a great time together and talked a bit about the script. Maybe read something at the table – do not put a very heavy or overly dramatic – and then just started.”
The actor had no trouble identifying with his character, since he took the perspective that comes with age and experience.
“I love the characters who have been through a lot,” reveals Gere. “They know themselves enough to know what is real in the emotional and the psychological and what is not. When we are kids we can not know. Just floating between hormones and adrenaline. The characters I play now have an intrinsic dignity is only with maturity.
Originally from Philadelphia, Gere has been through a lot, in and out of the screen, since it debuted in film with “Yanks” (1979). The following year was very successful with her sensuous performance in “American Gigolo” (1980) and since then has achieved a string of successful films, from “An Officer and a Gentleman” (1982), “Breathless” (1983 ), “The Cotton Club” (1984) and “Pretty Woman” (1990) to “Unfaithful” (2002), “Chicago” (2002) and “Amelia” (2009).
