The film revolves around three Brooklyn policemen. It seems that these unconnected men live in a real whirlpool in their lives the same deadly place. There seem to be significantly different career paths in their lives.
Although Fuqua has already done this material, he is at least able to make some of it engaging, just not enough to recommend sitting through a runtime of over two hours to find it.
On second thought, Brooklyn's Finest does indeed provide a new genre twist. This must be the only cop movie ever made where a character is driven off the deep end by mold.
