Not a film for me

This film tells the story of three Brooklyn policemen who have very different career paths. One is undercover, another is rogue and the third is about to retire in a few days. Their paths cross unexpectedly and tragically in a separate incidents that converge into one.

"Brooklyn's Finest" somehow does not keep me interested in it. The characters are mostly unlikable and unsympathetic, and I cannot connect with any of them. Their world and my world are vastly different, and I cannot relate to the characters at all. As a result, I could not get into the story at all. I find the story convoluted and lacking in an emotional climax despite what happens at the end. Perhaps the film is a good film, but it is not for me.
