Dark Blue (2002)

Synopsis: A cop and his rookie partner are assigned to investigate a multiple murder at a store. It turns out to be a very complicated affair, involving police corruption and the theft of a safe full of money.

Appraisal: One of the better cop movies of the last few years. The interconnection among the several elements of the story is very well handled, and the film flows in a crescendo of action and dramatic tension right until the end. Gleeson's performance is absolutely amazing. Russell doesn't do so badly either.

Rating: 69
