… a Rookie on the Run from Corrupt Cops.

"I never thought I'd see a trailer that reminded me of Training Day, John Wick, and RoboCop all at the same time, but Screen Gems' Black & Blue has managed to do just that. And that's not a bad thing! The story centers on a rookie cop who discovers that her corrupt partners (Training Day) are covering up a murder, doubly so when they attempt to kill her (RoboCop) when she catches the evidence on her body-cam. Now forced to go on the run from her new partners and seek help from reluctant members of the community, she'll find herself the target of a citywide manhunt when a bounty is put on her head. (And there's your John Wick, excommunicado.)

If you think I just gave away 90% of the plot, I did, but I also gave you like 50% of this trailer. There's a lot here. If you're at all interested in the premise and want to see this solid cast act out an intense actioner, I'd just skip the trailer altogether and see the movie this fall. But if you want to see a full version of the movie condensed down to roughly three minutes, by all means, give it a watch…."

Just couldn't go to the newspaper or get out of town.

Stop watching the trailer and will not see this because it is only going for the cops are evil agenda.

Solid pass for me as well.

……because it is only going for the cops are evil agenda.

Sure, because corrupt cops don't really exist.

Were those crappy movies like Serpico, Training Day, Witness, The Departed, L.A. Confidential, Mulholland Falls, Insomnia, The Sting, Bad Lieutenant, etc., etc. also part of this "agenda"?

You are not getting the point of this movie.

Were if you are a Black police officer you should be Black first and only Black.

Pretty good synopsis for a movie you never saw. But then projection has always been your most obvious quality.

And try to be consistent. First you complain that it is a "cops are evil" movie and now it's a racial thing?

Mithmee28 Jun 2019 5:19 p.m. PST

You really must not be paying attention to what has been happening in out major cities.

Since both of those things are connected.

If it appeared on HBO this Fall I would watch it because I like Naomi Harris but I don't think I would shell out the money to see it first-run.

Bowman29 Jun 2019 3:59 a.m. PST

Thanks for making my point. I'll be like Tumbleweed and wait till it gets on TV.

Mithmee29 Jun 2019 5:07 p.m. PST

Won't even watch then.

Hollywood needs to stop trying to push their SJW agendas onto everyone and make movies that are worth watching.

Mithmee07 Nov 2019 7:18 p.m. PST

As expected it bombed.

Bowman09 Nov 2019 7:24 a.m. PST

It bombed because it was pedestrian, cliched and simplistic. No over arching social justice paranoia or conspiratorial agendas are needed. Like I wrote above, there are many good movies about crooked cops. This is not one of them. Plain and simple.

Mithmee10 Nov 2019 7:50 p.m. PST

No it bombed because it was nothing but pure Anti-Police and was pushing a race agenda.
