Plot:
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

Notes:
The only problem with this movie is some really boring scenes that shouldn't have been in the movie. But besides that it was okay. Kurt Russell gave a kick ass performance.
Bottom Line: It is an okay BUY although you could also be safe with renting it especially if you like cop dramas.
