BlackTree TV Sais Black talks to Antoine Fuqua and Ethan Hawke about what makes this movie different than Training Day, a movie where the Director and Actor duo first worked together to produce one of the highest critically acclaimed films over 6 years ago, and also landed Denzel Washington and Oscar.
In the course of one chaotic week, the lives of three conflicted New York City police officers are dramatically transformed by their involvement in a massive drug operation in Brooklyns Finest, a searing new crime drama from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day).
Brooklyns Finest stars Golden Globe® winner Richard Gere (Amelia, Internal Affairs), Oscar® nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash), Oscar® nominee Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Before the Devil Knows Youre Dead), Wesley Snipes (New Jack City), Will Patton (The Fourth Kind), Lili Taylor (Public Enemies), Brian F. OByrne (The International) and Shannon Kane (Blood and Bone), with Ellen Barkin (Oceans Thirteen). It is written by Michael C. Martin. Producers are Basil Iwanyk (We Are Marshall), John Langley (Leaves of Grass), Elie Cohn (88 Minutes), John Thompson (Rambo) and Avi Lerner (Ninja). Joe Napolitano and Kat Samick (Shooter) are co-producers. Antoine Fuqua, Robert Greenhut (The Departed), Jesse Kennedy (Wild Cherry) and Mary Viola (Lost Boys: The Tribe) are executive producers. Patrick Murguia (Fuera del cielo) is director of photography. Editor is Barbara Tulliver (Lady in the Water). Production designer is Thérèse DePrez (Fighting). Costume designer is Juliet Polcsa (Paper Man). Original music is by Marcelo Zarvos (Lost Boys: The Tribe).
Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Ethan Hawke) has discovered theres no line he wont cross to provide a better life for his long-suffering wife and seven children. And Clarence Tango Butler (Don Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (Wesley Snipes), one of Brooklyns most infamous drug dealers. With personal and work pressures bearing down on them, each man faces daily tests of judgment and honor in one of the worlds most difficult jobs.
When NYPDs Operation Clean Up targets the notoriously drug-ridden BK housing project, all three officers find themselves swept away by the violence and corruption of Brooklyns gritty 65th Precinct and its most treacherous criminals. During seven fateful days, Eddie, Sal and Tango find themselves hurtling inextricably toward the same fatal crime scene and a shattering collision with destiny.
The film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New Yorks most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them Brooklyns Finest.
