Decent crime thriller where all the New Orlean cops are from NY or Jersey
LetMeExplainJan 10, 2020rich subject matter that dowling & taylor are incapable of conceptualizing as anything beyond plot thrills. harris is unsurprisingly good and much of this is elevated by her and dante spinotti's photography, though it was sort of depressing to realize that this mediocrity…
Josh LewisJan 17, 2020Is a story about the good apple what's important right now? Not sure, so I'll leave that to you. A trio of terrific performances make this sing when it has to, though, and you could do a lot worse than a reverse TRAINING DAY that suggests that there's still some good to be…

Frank Grillo is a badass, and I would watch him in a movie about the art of paint drying. I decided to check out Black and Blue because of him. I knew he wasn’t the lead, so I wasn’t expecting a lot out of the rest of the story. Well, call me pleasantly surprised. Black…

Austin BurkeSep 21, 2019My kink is watching mediocre movies with a Black audience. They can easily make a 2-star movie into a 5-star experience.

While there’s nothing special about it, it does provide plenty of heart-pulsing thrills that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat despite being just a tad predictable... but you’ll get over it. Grade: B- List: 2019: Ranked
PaddyMay 8, 2020A dumpster fire of grandiose proportions. There is so much that could be said in a film like this, yet the perpetually corny dialogue and horrible lead performance from Harris made me want to genuinely gouge my eyes out. There's nothing good here, aside from Tyrese…
colin...Black and Blue represents what is easily director Deon Taylor's best work as a filmmaker to date, crafting a surprisingly competent, even often enjoyable, cop thriller with strong performances (especially from Naomie Harris, Tyrese Gibson, and Frank Grillo) and well-put…

This movies ambition is that of Training Day and has the execution of Adam Sandler’s Little Nicky. Absolute waste of time. 10/10 could not help but recommend everything ELSE but this garbage.
Cristiano is "meh" onBlack and BlueIt really shoves the theme in your face and nothing special about the action and plot

I don’t know how I stumbled upon this but it is very good! The flow is fast and exciting and the cast is fantastic - some familiar to me, others not. Love seeing all the shots of where I grew up!
Ani N. likedBlack and BlueThere’s nothing new here, pretty basic action good cop/ bad cop. Acting is good but otherwise pretty average.

Metacritic
Oct 24, 2019
The action is sufficiently gripping, even if the drama plays out along predictably violent lines.
Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post
Oct 24, 2019
Its pulpy pop-cultural credibility is inseparable from its honest, brutal assessment of the state of the world. Its ideas about the nature and limits of heroism — about just how hard and terrifying the resistance to evil can be — are spelled out in vivid black and white.

Black and Blue feels imbalanced and overlong, favoring fast and repetitive chase scenes over well-calibrated tension.
