In the 'hood, all that matters are your colors... Bob Hodges (Robert Duvall) is a seasoned street cop who has learned a lot from long experience while his new, young partner, Danny McGavin (Sean Penn), has learned nothing - yet knows it all. Forced to work together in the L.A.P.D.'s renowned C.R.A.S.H. anti-gang unit, they set out to investigate a brutal gang murder. Hated and hunted by both sides, the cops soon find themselves trapped in the middle of a turf war. With nowhere to turn, they are ambushed, double-crossed and shot at in a take-no-prisoners street battle. As the violence escalates, these two diametrically opposed men must come to terms with one important fact - to stay alive they must come together!
Great inspirational movie for anyone that is looking to overcome a challenge. Focuses on criminal behavior so great to use for at risk population or in a prison/detention. Touches on gangs, criminal behavior and making changes that are tough. A positive and clear cut message in the midst of movies that have murky values and difficult to read messages. A little emotional, but even the hardest client was captivated and watched it until the end.
Directed by Dennis Hopper, Colors spins the tale of a couple of L.A. Cops who come from two different styles of maintaining the gang lands of Los Angeles They don't always agree but the job gets done. The film is still very powerful today as it was upon its initial release. This Shout Factory disc features a good picture ans audio quality with a few extra's. Give it a spin!
