Watched the Blu-Ray of Freelancers today. The movie had 50 Cent, Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker in it.
Movie is about the corrupt NYC police and its ramifications, and about revenge for 1 of the new NYC rookies. The movie portraits pretty much all NYC cops as being dirty.
One cop runs a pretty deep scheme of corruption and takes under his wing one of the new rookies fresh off the academy, rookie who happens to be the son of his former partner. We learn throughout the movie that the rookie's dad was killed by his partner because he was a rat so this corrupt cop feels responsible for the rookie.
The rookie after learning everything makes a power play and ends up getting his new found mentor killed and taking over. But like his old man, he turned to the DEA and made a deal and will now work undercover.
It was a good movie. IMDB has it rated at 4.2, which I really don't understand why the such low rating unless every single NYC blue pig voted it down, and I give my own personal rating of 7.5.
