"Noble intentions are up against dog-eared cliches and frustratingly, it's a battle that too often leads to us, the audience, losing."
The Guardian"Sometimes genre entertainment can illuminate troubling realities better than more earnest and self-seriously realistic films, and "Black and Blue" belongs to that tradition."
The New York Times"Not even the considerable talents of the ever watchable Naomie Harris can elevate Black And Blue above the broad and generic. The result is sadly aggressively formulaic."
Empire Magazine"This taut, disposable chase thriller has its share of cheesy plot twists and cardboard supporting characters, but for the most part the film follows the lead of its no-nonsense star Naomie Harris."
Screen Daily"This cheesy thriller is the quattro formaggi of cop films."
Time Out""Black and Blue" feels imbalanced and overlong, favouring fast and repetitive chase scenes over well-calibrated tension."
Variety"Too often, the suspense dissipates between action scenes when it should be consistent and relentless, even in the quietest moments."
