Hopefully, with his legal issues behind him, Wesley Snipes is coming to back to the big screen in 2010 with a new film that some may find closely related to the film he is mostly known for, 'New Jack City.'
'Brooklyn's Finest' is directed by Antoine Fuqua, and also stars Don Cheadle, Richard Gere, Michael K. Williams, and Ethan Hawke, Jesse Williams, Ellen Barkin, Lili Taylor, Brian F. O'Byrne, Will Patton, and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan (played by Gere) is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut. Narcotics officer Sal Procida (played by 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 (played by Cheadle) has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz (played by 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 film captures the volatile and deadly world of one of New York's most dangerous precincts through the eyes of the men and women pledged to protect and serve, as they face the wrenching choices that make them "Brooklyn's Finest."
Overture Films will release the film on March 5, 2010.

Well, it's about time he return to the big screem. I enjoyed his vampire chractor in the Blade movies. The Nino Brown chractor of New Jack City is great when it comes to realism. Iam looking forward to checking this movie out...p.s. please pay your taxes!!!

This looks hot. But it's disappointing the only way a black man like Snipes can get redemption in Hollywood is by playing a drug dealer. After all the heroic roles he's played, he has to start over as Nino Brown. Full circle.

Well, ms shellfish this is one of the reasons wesley dates asians or white women! If they find him nice to look at with a body and money what's your problem. could it be alittle envy or jealousy! You along with other simple minded blks tend to equate Ugly, B@tch, H@E and the N words to blks. It's strange how some blks are trained like dogs to equate anything negative or someone with more african features as ugly but it's a know fact the same people will not use those words towards an ugly wht person!!!

Wesley is a good actor, but black women must not forget how he tried to diss us. Now, after a dry space, he trying to ease back in on the sistahs dollars, thinking we have forgotten his remarks about ws. Don't forget sistahs. Let the brothers and his asian and white women pay to see him. Don't be no fool.

I've missed seeing Wesley on the big screen. I've been a long-time fan for a many years. I think he is a superb actor. I wish everybody would stay out of everybody's private life and realize that they are doing a job. Just because that job happens to put them in the public eye doesn't mean you have a right to tell them what they can and cannot do. Wesley is an actor, that is his JOB. Tiger is a golfer, that is HIS job. Barak is a politician, THAT is his job. What these people do and who they marry is none of anybody's business. Of course I'm not naive enough to not know that everybody gossips, so do I. It starts in elementary school, but I've never walked up to a person and had the nerve to think that they OWE ME an explanation about a decision they made. GIVE ME A BREAK!

I am certainly glad to see Wesley Snipes back working. It looks like this will be good; you have the good cop, bad cop, crime, and temptation, that makes for a great movie.
