Pride and Glory

Pride and Glory is rated R: for strong violence, pervasive language and brief drug content.

Because we usually only review G, PG, and PG-13 movies at Parent Previews we did not review this title. For your convenience, we have provided some brief information about the film's synopsis and content.

Synopsis:

The Tierney family has a long history serving in the New York City Police Department. Knowing what it will do to their sense of Pride and Glory, it is very difficult for Ray Tierney (Edward Norton) to tell his Police Chief father Francis Tierney (Jon Voight) that the perpetrator behind the case he is presently investigating is Jimmy Egan (Colin Farrell)-- his bother-in-law, Francis' son-in-law and a cop.
