Suggesting that Judd Nelson is gay as a French holiday is only mildly wittier than suggesting the same of clearly gay Tom Cruise. Go to Full Review

Jelisije J 07/02/2024 An average revenge movie that is acted well, but is a corny and as predictable as the genre itself. See more Patrick M 06/24/2024 I was very suprised. Was a great view! Story was easy to follow. Shooting was realistic than today's gut splattering. A calm thriller, but good in my opinion. I may even watch it again!! Just know, my taste is with thrillers with extreme action! This was a thriller with a real view. See more Steve D 08/29/2023 A mixed bag that goes all over the place in tone. See more camille l 02/25/2021 Tout petit polar sans prétention mais sans aucune ambition et sans aucune surprise, Blue City lorgne du côté du Flic de Beverly Hills et de Miami Vice en même temps, tout en reprenant le casting des films de John Hughes. Et force est de reconnaître que Michelle Manning s'en sort plutôt bien, maniant parfaitement le ton entre polar hard-boiled à la Walter Hill (co-scénariste) et la comédie à la Eddie Murphy. Ce qui pêche est évidemment le casting, Judd Nelson n'ayant pas le quart du talent de la star du SNL et David Caruso, second rôle qui brille de mille feux mais trop peu présent. Mais pour moins de 90 minutes, Blue City est un divertissement très acceptable, très agréable, un peu trop violent pour son bien mais à découvrir. See more 04/24/2020 So, the criminal and the basket case migrate from Shermer High to Florida, and become crime fighters. Huh?--Awesome plot! This movie has what makes well-developed characters: The characters, especially the protagonist, really wants something--And drawing his/her personality, stops at nothing to get it. However, one flaw: Why must the media always make "bad guys" [specifically the killer of Billy's father] be portrayed by someone who is African American? I thought it was the 80s, and back then, America had moved on from marginalizing and patronizing African American people. See more 12/01/2012 Uber retartded but also hilarious. Idk what they were thinking with this See more Read all reviews
