What to Know

Critics Consensus

Black and Blue is elevated by Naomie Harris' central performance, even if the end result suffers from a simplistic treatment of topical themes.

Noëlle D. Lilley Chicago Reader The movie falters when pushed beyond its intriguing premise to a meaningful message. Feb 15, 2020 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) This is a film that pulls off the impressive trick of being gritty and cheesy at the same time. Rated: 2/5 Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is just a cops-ploitation, scream-at-the-screen picture, but I had a lot of fun with it with an audience. Oct 28, 2019 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut After a promising start, with a strong Harris in the lead, Black and Blue gives way to a generic against time thriller. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture There’s an effective, nuanced way to tell a story tackling this issue. Black and Blue does the exact opposite of that, eschewing all nuance and subtlety to make the most generic version of this story as possible. Rated: 3/10 May 19, 2022 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 I think that people right now feel that there needs to be some serious conversation about what we can do for reconciliation between the police and the community... This movie just doesn't contribute to that. Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

E A familiar setup but well-executed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/20 Full Review jeff w I liked it, lots of sub plots within the movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/20 Full Review Judy It was okay being from the city of new orleans it didnt do our city a great justice. but the story lune is very true Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/20 Full Review Tonya This is a movie that I want for my collection Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/19 Full Review Trinton I really like the story line and the overall message of the film. In society today its as easy to judge someone by their job, title, or profession. The same way you would a person by the color of their skin or where theyre from. Gives me hope that there are Good Cops out there who believe in protecting the people! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/19 Full Review customfloorsnagmailcom Bring the police and the people back together 👍🏻 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/19 Full Review Read all reviews
