Kurt Russell gives a good performance. Too bad there's nothing here that you haven't seen before.

Russell is the reason to go to the theater. He will continue to hold your attention when things around him -- like the storyline -- lose steam and credibility.
Top CriticWell worth recommending.
Fails to make the grade as either a gritty crime drama or an intriguing piece of historical relevance.
Harrowing and compulsively watchable morality play.
The movie ends not with a bang but a wimp.
Violent police detective teaches his partner.
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.

The movie is an average police drama with not much action. It tries to weave too much in less than 2 hours duration of the movie, which makes it a bit messy and can cause distraction. Also the last half hour was very dull. Not highly recommended.
