RogerEbert.com — Black and Blue
Deon Taylor’s “Black and Blue” is a B-movie through and through—and that’s actually a compliment. Naomie Harris elevates this tale of a rookie cop who becomes the target of her corrupt colleagues through both her physical strength and emotional subtlety. And veteran cinematographer Dante Spinotti—a frequent Michael Mann collaborator and two-time Oscar nominee for “The Insider” and “L.A. Confidential”—creates moody, evocative images of the film’s New Orleans setting which greatly enhance the overall feeling of menace. My review, at RogerEbert.com.
