Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
A cop's personal code of justice begins to change
after a number of incidents lead his city to a tragic wave of violence in this
police drama. Eldon Perry (Kurt
Russell) is a veteran cop with the LAPD's Special Investigations unit, a
man who isn't above bending the law if it means putting people behind bars who
deserve the treatment. As Los Angeles waits on the verdict in the Rodney King
police beating trial, Perry is presenting testimony to Chief of Police Arthur
Holland (Ving
Rhames), who is well aware of the corruption in the SIS unit and wants to
stop it. Perry, however, twists some facts as he speaks in the defense of his
new partner, Bobby Keough (Scott
Speedman), who is being investigated for inappropriate use of deadly
force. For lack of honest testimony, Keough is let off the hook, and soon he
and Perry have a new case to investigate — a robbery at a liquor store than
turned into a quadruple homicide. Perry and Keough quickly track down two
likely suspects, Orchard (Kurupt)
and Sidwell (Dash
Mihok), but Perry is surprised when the head of SIS, Van Meter (Brendan
Gleeson), tells him to let Orchard and Sidwell go, and instead points the
finger at two ex-cons who should be taken off the street, even though they're
innocent of this crime. Perry follows Van Meter's orders, despite Keough's
misgivings, but in the wake of the L.A. riots, Perry has a change of heart,
and decides to start working with Holland against Van Meter's corrupt methods.
In the midst of it all, Perry is trying to hold together his troubled marriage
to Sally (Lolita
Davidovich), while Keough finds himself romancing a fellow officer, Beth (Michael
Michele).
Dark Blue was adapted from an original screenplay by noted crime novelist
James Ellroy;
originally set against the backdrop of the 1965 Watts riots, the story was
later updated to 1992.
