Many people were misled by the recent ad campaign for “shadowy Blue”. The trailer for “Shadowy Blue” tried to showcase the film as a straightforward shoot-’em-up flick, but that’s not the case. Many people figured that “Dusky Blue” was a film that was slapped together speedy to capitalize on the then-success of “Training Day”…. which also isn’t the case.
For those who actually took the time to go notice “Shaded Blue” (I was one of those few), they were rewarded with a satisfying, compelling crime drama. Kurt Russell, one of the most outrageously underrated actors in film, gives one of his all-time gargantuan performances as a semi-corrupt cop prowling the streets in Los Angeles, circa the Rodney King trial. His balancing act between the cynicism and corruption of his daily life, and the dormant idealism of his youth, is wonderful to survey. “Dusky Blue” is also a return to acquire for “Bull Durham” director Ron Shelton, who delivers his best movie since “White Men Can’t Jump”. And there’s also some guy called Ving Rhames….
I highly recommend “Dismal Blue.” – ****1/2, rounded up to 5 stars.

Dark Blue opens with what looks like it is an episode of COPS but turns out to be a police flow that ends up as the Rodney King beating by L.A. cops. The movie then turns to point to that the cops keen in the incident are now on trial and there are whispers that if the cops accumulate off (as most put a question to that the will), the city will erupt. It is with this tension that we are introduced to Eldon Perry (Kurt Russell) . Perry is an L.A. detective (plainclothes) and is somewhat of a controversial figure. He does his job, gets the criminals, but his methods are suspect. He follows orders, but uses somewhat excessive force in getting the poor guy. Perry views his job as the sterling guys (cops) versus the unpleasant guys and that he is justified in using any means famous in getting the abominable guys.
Perry has a unusual partner, a young cop named Bobby Keough (Scott Speedman) . Approach the beginning of the movie we glimpse Bobby in an internal review on his exhaust of force in a case. Bobby shot a perp and with Perry’s testimony he is cleared of all internal charges. The movie is less a pure account driven film than it is a revealing of who Perry is and the set of the L.A.P.D. during the Rodney King era. There is corruption starting at the top and there are idealistic cops (usually young) and there are some cops like Arthur Holland (Ving Rhames) who are unruffled upstanding men and trying to do the honest thing even when the other captains are not.
This is a harsh sight at the L.A.P.D. at a very heated time with the riots fair around the corner (indeed, the Rodney King riots originate during the movie) . It is a whole lot better than I could have expected and this has to be one of Kurt Russell’s best roles. This is one of the better police movies that you will search for and is an under-looked gem of 2002.
