eye Weekly
Chandler Levack quote iconBrooklyn’s Finest seems to enjoy indulging the actors, but it’s about as authentic as a rap video and twice as inconsiderate to the seedy crime world that Fuqua can’t help but glorify.
5
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconBrooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies.

C. Fuchs quote icon Mediocre as an overall experience and weighed down by one genre cliché after another

Tomatometer quote icon It's appropriately gritty, and soaked in the kind of palpable tension Antoine Fuqua delivers so well, but Brooklyn's Finest suffers from the comparisons its cliched script provokes.
