Set in the Los Angeles Police Department in April 1992, Dark Blue is a dramatic thriller that takes place just days before the acquittal of four white officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King and the subsequent L.A. riots. In this racially-charged climate,the LAPD's elite Special Investigations Squad (SIS) is assigned a high-profile quadruple homicide. As they work the case, veteran detective Eldon Perry, known for his tough street tactics and fiery temper, tutors SIS rookie Bobby Keough in the grim realities of police intimidation and corruption. Meanwhile, Assistant Chief Holland, the only man in the department willing to stand up to the SIS, threatens to end Perry's brand of singlehanded "justice" on the Los Angeles streets. While navigating through the tumultuous neighborhoods of South Central L.A., Perry and Keough must track down cold-blooded killers and face their own demons, which prove to be more ruthless than the criminals they pursue.

Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesRussell fans, take note: This is probably the strongest work he's done in movies.
Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaKurt Russell, um ator sempre subestimado, oferece mais uma performance digna de aplausos neste interessante filme cuja trama foi concebida por James Ellroy.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Joe LeydonSo many things go wrong -- stunningly, breathtakingly wrong -- throughout so much of Dark Blue that the movie is, somewhat like a spectacular auto wreck, perversely fascinating.
Creative Loafing - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonThe movie proceeds to bog down in every by-the-book cop cliche known to man.
New York Observer - 9/10 by Rex ReedOne of the best and most furiously paced films about the controversial LAPD since L. A. Confidential.
Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Gary DowellA fair-to-middling cop drama whose intentions are unfortunately rendered murky and submerged by a predictable story and limp characterization.
Worcester Telegram & Gazette - 8/10 by Daniel M. Kimmel[A] gritty police drama addressing the matter of what police work does to the people who do it.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Ella TaylorDark Blue proclaims itself a character drama and a voyage of self-discovery for the flawed cop -- which proves to be its fatal weakness.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 8/10 by Robert DenersteinLike Los Angeles in the spring of 1992, Dark Blue generates tension but eventually goes up in smoke.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 8/10 by David ElliottRussell is campaigning to get back into acting shape after such goof-arounds as 3000 Miles to Graceland and Escape From L.A. But shoving him through the grinder of cop cliches, then giving him a Frank Capra climax, invites defeat.
