Not again...
I've been duped by another movie trailer. If you know M. Night Shaymalan then you know what to expect. The first act was decent with establishing the characters but some of the lines of dialogue were like "wait... what ?"
80% of the characters are disposable and you will have little to no feeling at all when they inevitably die. The only reason that I'm giving it 2 1/2 stars instead of 2 is because it kept me engaged for the most part and the third act was ok with a few laughable parts that were meant to be serious moments in the film.
Surprisingly, there were no big twists like most M Night Shaymalan films which was a bit of a shock to me. If this film was maybe 30 minutes shorter in runtime then maybe I would recommend checking it out. However, I was kinda counting the seconds until I saw the end credits appear on the screen in the middle of the 2nd act. Nearly 2 hours and I was pretty bored during most of it.
Black and Blue (2019)
Worth A Watch
Pretty good movie overall. The whole "blue" thing that was heavily portrayed throughout the film seemed authentic. I really think a good chunk of police officers live by that code. Us vs Them mentality that we have seen result in the deaths of thousands of unarmed civilians. Anyway, the action was cool...no big "oh s**t" moments (in my opinion) but it's definitely worth a watch.
