We've all seen it before. One cop movie after another. Sometimes though, one comes along that runs along a different story line, and makes you see the lives of those in blue, in a different light.

Deco sat down with the cast of "Brooylyn's Finest", and asked them their point of view.

Guns drugs the NYPD we all love a good cop, bad cop, blood fest.

RICHARD GERE: "It certainly is in a world of violence and spontaneity and craziness and extreme emotions and desires"

Deco put "Brooklyn's Finest" and one leader of New York's underworld to the test and asked them how their roles differed from just any old cop movie.

ETHAN HAWKE: "It's ultimately about people. what i love about movies about police officers is that they're you know it's got the fun of an action movie, but it's about it's not about some super hero it's about human beings. and these people who live and play a fundamental role in all of our lives. The movie catches everybody at their most intense, obviously its a drama, so you try to push all the circumstances"

Of course, it's intense that's what police work is about but we're looking for a little more juice.

What truly makes the cast Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes believe there is something else behind the shield?

WESLEY SNIPES: "I would say it's and insight to the um psychological stresses and psychological challenges police officers daily. We have out street prospect of who they are and what they do but i don't think many of us realize"

DON CHEADLE: "The thing i think that is really unique and kinda cool about this movie is antoine fuquas our director's ability to weave these three story lines together and really keep the forward moment in the story between all these three guys, and wesley's character at the end at they intersect,"

Bottom line cops are ordinary people getting to the criminals before the criminals get to you.

RICHARD GERE: "It is about internal transformations in characters and i think recognizable. i think very human impulses and all the three stories that are part of Brooklyn's finest,"
