Black and Blue takes place in New Orleans when rookie cop Alicia West (Naomie Harris) captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam; the bad part the murder was committed by some corrupt cops. It becomes a game of survival for the officer West; as she is being framed for the murder of the drug dealers. She is stuck trying to survive against the police and drug dealers searching for revenge.
The acting was above average good performances by Tyrese Gibson and Naomie Harris. Harris did well considering the plot gets basic fast. The plot wasn’t all bad it just lacked creativity, there was definite room for improvement. The film was entertaining but then it kind of becomes very predictable; you’re really waiting to see how it’s going to end. Overall it’s a decent thriller; not bad but not good either.
