Martial Artist Wesley Snipes Co-Starring In “Brooklyn’s Finest”

Thought you might appreciate to know that we will be able to see fellow martial artist Wesley Snipes in a new movie to be released early March 2010.

The title is “Brooklyn’s Finest” and besides Wesley Snipes, stars Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke.

And here’s the storyline:

Burned out veteran Eddie Dugan is just one week away from his pension and a fishing cabin in Connecticut.

Narcotics officer Sal Procida 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 has been undercover so long his loyalties have started to shift from his fellow police officers to his prison buddy Caz, one of Brooklyn’s most infamous drug dealers, played by Wesley Snipes.

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. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

The stunts should be pretty impressive, considering that John Cenatiempo was the stunt coordinator. He has done a lot of great work in movies and TV shows such as Body of Lies, Life on Mars, The Wrestler, I Am Legend – just to name a very few.

But back to Wesley Snipes, whom we could consider a mixed martial artist, because he trains or has trained extensively in Shotokan karate, Capoeira and in a number of other disciplines including various styles of kung fu and Jiu Jitsu.

It’s been some time that he was able to put his acting and martial arts skills on display. The wait is over!

I am looking forward to seeing Wesley Snipes in Brooklyn’s Finest. This should be a good one.

So is he done serving his jail time for tax evasion? I very much liked his acting and martial arts so I hope he’s back!

Thanks for writing in, Bob.
I was actually reading up on the sentencing and I thought I’m gonna stay away from that one.
Like you, I enjoy Wesley Snipes’ acting and martial arts skills.
Take care, my friend.
