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

Director: Ron Shelton

Release Date: 2002

Rating 5 out of 10

Rated R for violence, language, and brief sexuality

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.
