      Steve D A mixed bag that goes all over the place in tone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review camille l 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was quite possibly the worst movie I've seen, and I loved it for all the wrong reasons. It was just so acted wrong, directed wrong. It was all over the place. I hated it. And i want to see it again with people who need to see it so I know I'm not crazy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review william s This was Nelson's star vehicle after Breakfast Club.....did not exactly work out that way in this ego driven farce. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Uber retartded but also hilarious. Idk what they were thinking with this Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a hit-and-miss endeavor that remains unable to wholeheartedly capture and sustain the viewer’s interest... Rated: 2/4 Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Suggesting that Judd Nelson is gay as a French holiday is only mildly wittier than suggesting the same of clearly gay Tom Cruise. Rated: 0/4 Aug 23, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 1/5 Jun 6, 2005 Full Review James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette A dull disaster from start to finish Rated: 1/5 Mar 18, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A wobbly and rather lame adaptation of a Ross MacDonald murder mystery Rated: 1/5 Aug 25, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
