| Brooklyn's Finest 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 Brooklyn’s Finest, a searing new crime drama from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day). Burned-out veteran Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere) is just 1 week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (Ethan Hawke) has discovered there’s no line he won’t 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 Brooklyn’s 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 world’s most difficult jobs. When NYPD’s Operation Clean Up targets the notoriously drug-ridden BK housing project, all three officers find themselves swept away by the violence and corruption of Brooklyn’s 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 Art of the Steal In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes created The Barnes Foundation in Lower Merion, Pa., 5 miles outside of Philadelphia. He formed this remarkable collection of Post-Impressionist and early Modern art to serve as an educational institution. More than 50 years later, a powerful group of moneyed interests have gone to court to take the art – recently valued at more than $25 billion – to a new location in Center City Philadelphia. Standing in their way is a group of former students who are trying to block the move. Will the students succeed, or will a man’s will be broken and one of America’s greatest cultural monuments be destroyed? 9.14 Pictures' latest documentary, The Art of the Steal, will be released in theaters beginning in Philadelphia and New York on Feb. 26 and expand to more cities in the following weeks. View the film's trailer, here. For more information about 9.14 Pictures, or to purchase tickets for the film, click here. |
