Movie Rating

Intimidation and Corruption

Dark Blue- is a good crime thriller.

The plot: Set in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1992, "Dark Blue" is a thriller that takes place just days before the acquittal of four white officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King and the subsequent L.A. riots. In this racially charged climate, the LAPD's elite Special Investigations Squad is assigned a quadruple homicide. As they work the case, detective Eldon (Kurt Russell), tutors SIS rookie Bobby (Scott Speedman) in the realities of police intimidation and corruption.

I would highly recordmed watching it.

Gripping, couldnt put it down

I could not put this book down, I love the story and the different time frames, I was nearly always itching to read the next 'past tense chapter hoping to find out more. I like the lead Detective. The characters were well thought up. I did guess whodunnit so it didnt have the full suspense for me but overall a good read. I would agree with others who have stated it is not as good as The Dry but still has it's own merit and worth a read.

"I like The Game; it’s one of my favorite movies. I love The Game. Oh, that movie was so good. I love not knowing what’s going to happen. I become a detective. My brain — I put myself in the character’s position. I sit there and I wonder how I would’ve reacted to this. You know, because there were parts of that movie that had me tripping. And you could not tell what was the part of the game and what wasn’t. That was the genius part of how they shot that movie. I just absolutely love it."

Alex Wolff recommended True Detective - Season 1 in TV (curated)

"My favourite series of all time, I’m not kidding, is True Detective season one, it’s my favourite. I just rewatch it all the time. Matthew McConaughey is so good in that show, it’s incredible. It’s dark, (but) kind of ethereal too. There’s something so mystical and magical about it. Because you don’t quite know what’s real, what’s tangible, and what’s some horrifying fantasy. I think what keeps that show separated from every other kind of crime show is that it has this kind of magical ability to be dreamy, too. It’s just gorgeous, it’s a masterpiece."
