A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers.

For Ray, the truth is revelatory, a Pandora's Box that threatens to upend not only the Tierney legacy but the entire NYPD.

Critics' reviews

"Yes, it's a police drama, but not the kind that clogs up TV with bullets and clichés (...) Directed with grit and grace (...) Its value is unquestionable as drama and moral provocation (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"It follows the well-worn pathways of countless police dramas before it. (...) sensationally bad ending (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"The entire enterprise, which supposedly celebrates honor in a cynical world, succumbs to rank cynicism itself. (...) Pride and Glory would be risible if it weren't so reprehensible."

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
"Not especially good, but there is enough rough artistry in Mr. O’Connor’s direction to make you wish the film were better. (...) The story, while none too fresh has a certain rough potency. "

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"A top-notch cast including Edward Norton, Colin Farrell and Jon Voight really get the job done (...) O'Connor keeps an effectively firm grip on the material"

Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter
"Heavy, doom-laden and, unfortunately, entirely predictable, director Gavin O'Connor's murky drama applies epic aspirations to a story all too familiar from any number of films and TV shows."

Todd McCarthy: Variety
