Black and Blue
Army veteran Alicia West (Naomie Harris)
becomes a cop in her hometown of
New Orleans, but soon witnesses – and
accidentally films – a murder by corrupt
cops. With help from store owner Milo
Jackson (Tyrese Gibson), she heads off on
the run from the vengeful criminals.
FIVE FACTS:
- This film has its origins in Peter A.
Dowling’s speculative screenplay Exposure,
which production company Screen Gems
announced it had acquired in August 2017. - However, the film’s name was changed
from Exposure to Black and Blue the
following year. - Aptly for a Sony Pictures film, much of
the footage was captured on Sony CineAlta
cameras and Sony Xperia 1 smartphones. - Major League Baseball player Mitch
Moreland of the Boston Red Sox appears in
the film as a police officer, but is not credited
for the role. - Black and Blue made only $8.3 million its
weekend of theatrical release.
