WE WENT TO SEE BROOKLYN'X FINEST YESTERDAY. IT WAS GOOD, VERY BLOODY. THE REASON I AM WRITING IS THAT I REALLY DID NOT LIKE RICHARD GERE PLAYING THIS PART.

I KNOW HE CAN'T ALWAYS BE THE NICE, GOOD GUY AND I KNOW HE HAS TO WORK, BUT THIS WAS A B FILM AND I AM USED TO SEEING HIM IN A FILMS.

THIS PART WAS SECOND RATE FOR HIM. I HOPE HE DOESN;T START TAKING PARTS LIKE THIS, IT TAKES AWAY FROM ALL THE WONDERFUL FILMS HE HAS MAD IN THE PAST AND WILL STILLMAKE IN THE FUTURE.

ALSO, RICHARD, YOU STILL LOOK GREAT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.36.153 (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Peter Travers' Review
Traver's is listed as a noteworthy critic in a lot of film articles, and I think that such a differentiation should be noted. The Los Angeles Times review was also rather negative, perhaps not quite as much so, should that be removed also? I am not going to put it back in to avoid starting an edit war, but I'm just offering my opinion. FinalWish (talk) 00:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not about the negativity of the review, but the overall perception. If the movie is universally panned by critics, then adding Travers' review is perfectly justified. But if you look at Metacritic, his opinion is rather POVish (and abusive) and not shared by the majority of his peers. It may be quite exciting to give a film zero star, but that doesn't mean it should end up on wikipedia.--Artoasis (talk) 01:29, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Error in year
The introduction says its a 2010 movie but IMDB records it as a 2009 movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210042/). Shouldn't this be changed? --- Fatka (talk · contribs) 05:23, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:NCF, we're supposed to use the film's public release year. So I guess we'll have to keep this little discrepancy between wiki and IMDb. --Artoasis (talk) 07:44, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Who is "Randy"?
"Sal passes Tango who has come there to kill Red, and is noticed suspiciously by Randy"

"Sal is shot in the back and killed by Randy

"Rosario, still determined to stop Sal, is forced to continue his search for him. He witnesses Randy running away from the crime scene"

Any clue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.67.159 (talk) 10:33, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup
I removed the following sentence fragment: "The one time subway flagman from Brooklyn East New York." ...because, while the cited article shows that it has something to do with Antoine Fuqua, I still couldn't figure out what the fragment's author was trying to say. It would be great if someone else could put this piece back in, in the form of a coherent and complete sentence, if one has more insight into it than I. TJSwoboda (talk) 12:04, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Title
The Finest (after a place name) is what American's call the police. But it has become corrupted and is often used ironically nowadays. Other examples include Boston's Finest, and as expected World's Finest. QuentinUK (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2015 (UTC) You mean "Americans", as the word is plural and not possessive.2600:1700:5DD0:60A0:CDA5:4496:59E1:16BD (talk) 09:15, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
