Black and Blue focuses on a rookie police officer returning to New Orleans after leaving in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She is abruptly faced with the realization that corruption not only exists within her hometown police department, but it may be far more extensive than could be imagined. She also has to cope with the knowledge that a HUGE wedge has been driven between the PD and the local community and the fracture that exists may be too large to mend.

Naomi Watts is wonderful and convincing in the lead role with several supporting cast members rounding things out perfectly. Tyrese Gibson shows a depth generally not seen in most cases as a sort of liaison simply trying to keep peace but quickly finding himself embroiled in the middle of it all.

At times predictable, at times redeeming. Worth giving a go if you have the time.

Kudos

The latest (I think, and at the time of writing) in Disney's reimagining of their classic films (see also: Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc …) , with this one being a mix of live action and CGI and also - to the best of my knowledge - not actually even released in cinemas, but instead being a Disney+ exclusive even before the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.

Sticking pretty faithfully to the same beats as the animated original - spoiled Cocker Spaniel, Street Dog, the famous Spaghettis scene (which I can't watch now without thinking of the version with Santa's Little Helper in The Simpsons) - this nonetheless does slightly change parts of the story, with the most noticeable (to me) being the Siamese Cats, who here have a completely new song but are still responsible for Lady ending up on the streets (see, I told you: all Cats are evil!).
