Reviews
Russell fans, take note: This is probably the strongest work he's done in movies.
Using the real-life Rodney King mess as a backdrop is pretty tawdry exploitation.
While it doesn't avoid the familiar and formulaic (what cop movie does these days?), DARK BLUE was a pleasant surprise, and proved that Russell can save just about anything
Kurt Russell, um ator sempre subestimado, oferece mais uma performance digna de aplausos neste interessante filme cuja trama foi concebida por James Ellroy.
Dark Blue gets the brain working and sheds light on a controversial topic.
[A] gritty police drama addressing the matter of what police work does to the people who do it.
Shelton only achieves the intensity he's looking for at one point, when the riots finally break out and Perry has to drive through crowds of looters.
Dark Blue has a seamy slow-burn energy, charged by its narrative and thematic tie-ins with the 1992 Los Angeles riots and a dynamite lead performance from Kurt Russell.
