Black And Blue

Naomie Harris has been doing some amazing things in film lately and she certainly shines in elevating Black And Blue from what could have been just a mediocre action film.  It also stars Tyrese Gibson, Frank Grillo, and Mike Colter. What Black And Blue succeeds at is in showcasing a powerful Black actress of Harris in lead role that comes with very controversial and charged subject matter, while also being a winning action thriller that would make a good companion film to Training Day.  This is certainly one film where the generic title doesn't apply to the quality of what's being watched.
