Colors
Two white cops, Bob 'Uncle Bob' Hodges - a respected, 19-year LAPD veteran and rookie officer Danny McGavin are partners on the LAPD's gang crime division. Bob had hoped to spend more time with his family, but he's pulled back into active service because of a step-up in gang activity. He makes no secret of his contempt for his novice partner Danny, but eventually comes to rely on the younger man as a valuable street contact.

Colors has a tentative, ambivalent feel to it--as if Hopper merely considered himself a hired gun who should avoid imposing too personal a vision on the material.

Retrata a violência do submundo das gangues de maneira crua e realista, preocupando-se mais em ilustrar a brutalidade daquele universo do que propriamente em desenvolver uma trama (o que é um bônus).

There's great pleasure in watching these two actors work. And Hopper, a great actor himself, knows what they need to thrive.

Never as eccentric as The Last Movie or Out of the Blue, Colors nevertheless makes most other cop movies look formulary by comparison.

Colors is a special movie -- not just a police thriller, but a movie that has researched gangs and given some thought to what it wants to say about them.

It's an exhilarating sparring match between Duvall's workmanlike fine-tuning and Penn's raw energy.

Dennis Hopper's striking, controversial film was one of the first to attempt to get under the skin of LA gang culture, inspiring the many 'hood' films that proliferated in the early 1990s.

Colors is a solidly crafted depiction of some current big-city horrors and succeeds largely because of the Robert Duvall-Sean Penn teaming as frontline cops. They're terrific together as members of the gang crime division of the LAPD.

What is there to write about a lacklustre gang-related film that wants to be more than it amounts to?
