And, i went from being someone who would watch a movie a day to one who watches one every 2 months, and that too because it is work \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This year, part of my resolution is to watch atleast a movie a week and some TV. I have been managing to stick to that. This week&#8217;s TV outing was a random episode of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yes_Minister\">Yes Prime Minister<\/a><\/strong>, and the film outing was <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0482572\/\">Pride &amp; Glory<\/a><\/strong> !<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/apovcalamur.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/pride-and-glory-poster.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/pride-and-glory-poster-304x450.jpg?resize=304%2C450\" alt=\"pride-and-glory-poster\" title=\"pride-and-glory-poster\" width=\"304\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1359\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0482572\/\">Pride &amp; Glory<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; &#8211; what can i say about it. Even the combined talents of Edward Norton &amp; Jon Voight cannot save a film that has nothing new to say.<\/p>\n<p>The story is basic. 4 officers get killed in a drug bust gone wrong, and as Edward Norton begins investigating he realises that things in the police department aren&#8217;t as clean as they ought to be. Problem is that big brother runs the department, dad is both their boss, and brother-in-law is super crooked cop (the type who will threaten to iron babies to get their dad&#8217;s to talk).<\/p>\n<p>The film tries to be about the dilemma &#8212; family or truth ?<br \/>\nBut, there isn&#8217;t really any dilemma. The bad cops are so bad that they have no redeeming features &#8211; and the &#8216;good&#8217; cops have no choice but to take them down. And, this takes two hours !<\/p>\n<p>If you want to watch a good film on police procedure, loyalty and that kind of jazz watch &#8220;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0119488\/\">L.A. Confidential<\/a><\/strong>&#8216; or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0070666\/\">Serpico<\/a><\/strong>.
