Could have been betterThis movie could have been so much better. I don’t know who decided to score the movie like it was a 1990’s comedy. The move is super dark and at some of the most suspenseful parts you can here this cheesy electric piano beat in the background. I know that sounds like I’m being nit-picky, but it’s distracting. With all the great rap from the time this movie is based on they could have used, it just seems to diminish it. Which is a bummer because this is one of Kurt Russell’s best performances..Score: 3/5

It's no Training DayI was excited to see Dark Blue because it was the one film written by David Ayer I had not seen and I'm a fan of his. He's had some good ones: U571, Training Day. SWAT was terrible but I forgave that. Enter Dark Blue. It's a decent script with a decent story. The acting, however, is awful save almost entirely for Kurt Russell. This film could have been great with a better cast. The directing is nothing special and at one point during Russell's confession, the camera starts shaking as if someone ran into it. The first 15-20 minutes of act 3 are really solid but that's hardly a consolation prize for the rest of the film. In summation, this film is possibly worth a rent but not a buy..Score: 2/5

GoodThis movie is not like all the other action shoot em ups. This has some substance and is historically correct. Kurt Russell is the perfect guy. Good buy trust me.Score: 5/5

Critics got it wrong!!!If you like this genre of movie (and possibly if you don't), you are really cheating yourself if you don't give this one a day in court! i saw it in theatrical release, and purchased it the first day it came out! the story unfolds over the backdrop of the infamous rodney king verdict, and comes to a truly powerful climax. great cast, topical story, and superb performances make this one a classic !!!.Score: 5/5

Great Political ThrillerRussell turns in an astonishingly good performance as a savvy cop who knows how to survive just about anything that crooked politics deals him and his partner. His performance matches his roles in BREAKDOWN and THE THING. Ving Rhames is allowed the opportunity to play a God-fearing cop who will stand up and directly challenge the LA Police Force's business as usual approach to law enforcement. So often Rhames seems almost edited out of the movies he supposedly co-stars in because his acting ability is almost overwhelming (the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake, for example). This movie has great action sequences and plot twists that make most political thrillers pale by comparison. See this film!.Score: 5/5

GREAT!!!!!Does this city 'really' need a new class of criminal? How about you watch a movie before you review it? Forget what others say about it and actually form your own opinion if your mental capticies even permit rationality. This was a great movie showcasing Kurt's acting ability. Very dialog driven, it grabs you and takes you on an emotional journy through the L.A. riots. Very well made and acted. (And the quote is "This city deserves a better class of criminal").Score: 5/5

One of my all time favoritesThis is one of the most common sense dramas of the time. I was is high school in southern California during this time period. I can remember all of the uncertain tension in the air. Give it an "A"..Score: 5/5

Au sein de la section d'élite de la police de Los Angeles, Eldon Perry est réputé pour son tempérament explosif et sa façon très personnelle de faire régner la loi. Flanqué de Bobby Keough, une jeune recrue, il est chargé d'enquêter sur une difficile affaire de quadruple meurtre. Keough découvre rapidement la dure réalité de la rue, l'intimidation policière et la corruption. Arthur Holland, le directeur adjoint de la police, est le seul homme du département à s'élever contre cette section et son redoutable patron, Jack Van Meter.

Deutsch
Eldon Perry, Ermittler bei einer Elite-Einheit der Polizei von Los Angeles, ist bekannt für seine harten Methoden und sein aufbrausendes Temperament. Die Realität der Straße hat ihm längst jeden Idealismus genommen. Immer öfter ist er dazu bereit, die Grenzen des Erlaubten zu überschreiten, um jemanden seiner gerechten Strafe zuzuführen. Als Perry mit seinem jungen Partner Bobby Keough die Ermittlungen in einem brutalen Raubmordfall aufnimmt, stoßen sie auf ein undurchsichtiges Geflecht aus Intrigen und Gewalt, in das auch der stellvertretende Polizeichef Holland und ihr skrupelloser Vorgesetzter Jack Van Meter verwickelt sind. Plötzlich sind die Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse nicht mehr eindeutig zuzuordnen, und Perry gerät in einen Gewissenskonflikt.

Un giovane poliziotto si troverà a dover prendere la decisione giusta davanti alla sua coscienza e ad un suo collega più anziano.

Los agentes son el detective veterano Eldon Perry (Kurt Russell) y el novato Bobby Keough (Scott Speedman).
