Entertainment Reviews:
With Oscar season 2003 barely underway, our attention is already shifting to Oscar 2004, and in particularly, to Kurt Russell, who without a doubt, should be among next year's list of Best Actor contenders given his performance in Dark Blue.

Behind The Lens
The movie ends not with a bang but a wimp.

Well worth recommending.

Rating: 5/10 --
It's not totally without merit (Kurt, mostly) but there's little nuance or replay-ability here.

Starburst
...DARK BLUE goes were all too few films dare to venture these days -- into the heart of moral darkness...
Entertainment Weekly
...Kurt Russell's mace-first, questions-later cop is a giant creation....A rough and jagged urban thriller...
Total Film
...It has something to say and an urgent way of saying it....It has moments that go off the meter and find visceral impact...

Product Description:
There aren't many cops left like Eldon Perry (Kurt Russell). A member of the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Investigations Squad (SIS), veteran Perry is no stranger to the violence of the streets and the tough decisions that come with the job. He rarely questions the orders given by his powerful boss, Jack Van Meter (Brendan Gleeson). When Van Meter's nephew, Bobby Keogh (Scott Speedman) joins SIS and becomes Perry's partner, the stakes are raised. Keogh, who idolizes both his uncle and Perry, is eager to prove himself. But the naïve rookie has no idea how deep the corruption in the department runs. Set during the racially charged days before the Rodney King verdict and the ensuing L.A. riots, DARK BLUE also looks at racism within the department through its focus on Assistant Chief Arthur Holland (Ving Rhames), who questions the SIS brotherhood and is determined to be the first black chief of the LAPD. Russell is a powerhouse as Perry, a man who has made some difficult decisions in the name of justice. Directed by Ron Shelton (BULL DURHAM, TIN CUP) and based on a story by James Ellroy, the film also stars Michael Michele, Lolita Davidovitch, and rapper Kurupt.
