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.

A bit like Alien Nation which in turn is a story about our innate differences and the two cops in this story not only have to come to terms with each other but try to police a world populated by orcs and fairies whilst protecting an Elf, (go figure)
 Will Smith turns in a passable performance although I think the movie could have been better, not bad Netflix!

A British Classic
A classic British film from the old days. A good cool, fun heist film with one of the best chase scenes on film as the police go after the 3 mini coopers all around Turin. I thought I'd just add I like the new Italian Job as well, but it's not a straight re-make, just similar ideas and also worth checking out!

When Aaron is asked to clear a young man with Asperger Syndrome, he can't say no. The police do have a pretty compelling case, can Aaron prove he is innocent? The sub-plots threaten to take over at times, but the humor and characters kept me quickly turning pages.
