“Black and Blue” Review

It’s Crash re-imagined in the latest Sony film, that follows rookie cop, Alicia West as she uncovers the truth of a good cop gone bad in the tough streets of New Orleans that is filled with gang bangers and drug dealers. Now it is up to West, who captured the shooting of neighborhood black kids through a body cam, which the rogue cops now want to get hold of in order to protect their authority. The problem is not only is West a cop (blue) but her skin color (black) makes her untrusted by her own people whom they think she has turned their back on.

Black and Blue stars 007 star, Noamie Harris in a role where this time she is the one making the decisions and that is to do the right thing at all costs. She is joined with Fast and the Furious star Tyrese Gibson as a store clerk who learns to trust West as he himself is mistreated by the corrupt PDNO and even in fact proves useful as time is at the essence for getting the proof to the precinct before getting caught herself.

Overall, Black and Blue will keep one’s suspense from the first shot on as it also brings light to a bigger issue in our law enforcement community that is the trust of he police department not only by the public but also when the officer is of another race or ethnicity can they really be trusted and if they can will the other officers put their trust in them? That and more is delved into in the film that is bringing people to the theaters as it came out October 25, 2019 and is currently playing in one near you.
