Rating: 2.5/5 -- However, it is too bad that such hostile societal observations in Black and Blue are contained in a generic, clunky action-pack spectacle that undermines its profound presentation about police corruption and minority alienation. Full Review

Rating: B -- Harris, eyes blazing, brings a humanity and an urgency that serve the story maybe more than it deserves: a performance above and beyond the call of duty. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- 'Black and Blue' is timely law-enforcement actioner. Full Review

[A] blunt, efficient thriller directed by Deon Taylor....Played by Naomie Harris with a quiet intensity that has room for notes of sorrow and confusion, Alicia is defined by an identity crisis that is hardly hers alone.

[A]s an instrument of blunt-force thrills and social messaging, Deon Taylor’s rogue-cop drama still manages to land more visceral hits than other recent films that have tried and failed to do the same.

Director Deon Taylor has crafted another muscular thriller....He seems to appreciate the lean, direct simplicity of these genres and executes his own vision of them with stronger casts and better production values than you might expect.

This is just a cops-ploitation, scream-at-the-screen picture, but I had a lot of fun with it with an audience. Full Review
