Killing Blue (1988)
3/10
Stretched my suspension of belief in a bad way
28 December 2011
Other than interesting looking locations and extras, I couldn't find much of interest to keep me watching. The acting was OK but I just couldn't buy things in the script such as:

  • the old cop physically dominating someone younger - a cop that won't shoot a criminal who's clearly pointing a gun at him (I don't buy the psychological angle) - a police precinct where you can drink beer on the job


The fact that all the cast actually spoke in English, while it was obvious they were all in Germany, also hurt the film for me. It just intensified all the other incongruencies in the script to make the film feel like a naive attempt at an American style cop movie.

Still, given the previous positive reviews here, I will give the movie another chance in the future. Maybe my opinion of it will change.
