From On Location Vacations:‘Brooklyn’s Finest’ Premieres Tonight in NYC by Christine on March 2, 2010
The premiere of Brooklyn’s Finest will be held at the AMC Lincoln Center Theater in NYC tonight at 7:30PM. The movie’s stars including Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes, and Vincent D’Onofrio, are all expected to walk the red carpet for tonight’s premiere.
The movie is about three unconnected Brooklyn cops who wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths. The movie was filmed in Brooklyn in the summer of 2008.From Fairfield Weekly:Sticking It To America America giggles; plus, bad cops in Brooklyn and Britain Thursday, March 04, 2010 By Ann Lewinson
*** – Brooklyn's Finest Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Written by Michael C. Martin. With Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes. (R)
"This is not simply a case of right and wrong, but righter and wronger," says Vincent D'Onofrio at the beginning of Brooklyn's Finest, laying the moral territory to be mined in this ironically titled drama about three ethically challenged cops: Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere), a burned-out beat cop marking the days until his retirement, Sal (Ethan Hawke), a narc in need of money for a new house for his growing family, and Tango (Don Cheadle), an undercover cop who's gotten too close to a notorious drug dealer (Wesley Snipes) who has just been released from prison. But Eddie and Tango are often in the right (Hawke, who's doing early De Niro if he'd been hopped up on Red Bull, gets the less morally gray story) in this familiar but satisfying picture from director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and Michael C. Martin, an MTA subway flagger from East New York who wrote the screenplay while laid up after a car accident.
Martin has since quit his day job, with good reason. His story may seem less ripped from the streets than from a youth misspent watching Bad Lieutenant, but his dialogue crackles — Spike Lee might take note at the uncondescending way he writes white guys playing poker — and he's figured out a way to get his three characters into climactic situations unprotected by watchful colleagues or bulletproof vests. Filmed on location in the Van Dyke Houses in Brownsville with Fuqua's trademark eye for almost palpable, gritty textures and hyped to operatic heights at odds with the picture's intended authenticity, it's a fine showcase for Cheadle, Gere and the long-missed Snipes, whose iconic performance in New Jack City and current legal troubles bring both movie-movie winks and a genuine sense of peril.

The reel has photos of Mr. and Mrs. D'Onofrio at the premiere. He's in a suit and tie, and looks really good.

According to the reel's posting of a review of this film, Mr. D'Onofrio's role is very short and at the start of the film.

Short doesn't even begin to describe Mr. D'Onofrio's role. See College Times for more.

I think we all knew it was a small part. I had always understood it to be essentially one scene. That is why he is not listed as one of the stars or main characters. It is noticed here only because we tend to follow his career and roles (no matter how small). His part in New Tenants is also small, but very well done.

Small part or no...it was memorable! And Brooklyn's Finest was excellent! Gritty and real as anything I've ever seen. I thought the entire cast was amazing.
