Colors description Robert Duvall plays a veteran street cop assigned to a Los Angeles gang unit. He takes a headstrong young cop (Sean Penn) under his wing as a partner and shows him the ropes on Watts's mean streets. Penn soon realizes that his testosterone-fueled ways and hair-trigger temper won't get him very far when dealing with the gang-ridden neighborhoods of L.A. Colors is a landmark movie in several respects: it helped bring director Dennis Hopper back into the spotlight after years of self-induced obscurity. Its success at the box office forced Los Angeles's gang problems into the public consciousness and prefigured the next wave of "hood" movies (Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, New Jack City) by several years. Though the late-'80s milieu is a bit dated, Colors is still a vivid, absorbing film. Hopper and screenwriter Michael Schiffer give all the characters a very human dimension and go to great lengths to show gang life from both the cops' and the gangsters' points of view. Wisely, they stir in elements of the cop drama, buddy movie, and action genres, leavened with a bit of humor here and there, while keeping a social conscience. Duvall is excellent as always, as the sympathetic cop, and Penn brings a great deal of depth to what could be an unlikable character. Violent, unsettling, and highly recommended. --Jerry Renshaw |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great movie about teamwork! |
| This is a neat movie about teamwork. There are two police officers played by Shawn Pen and Bob Duvall. They live in California in fairly average homes. The cost of living is high there, so if they were on the same salary in Nebraska, their houses would be bigger. They spend the whole movie at war with these two groups of kid. One group dresses in blue and the other dresses in red. They are called the Crips(for crippled, I'm assuming?) and the bloods(Blood is red). They show great teamwork and recruiting ability in getting kids to join their club. I don't really like their club much. I was a cub scout and we did things like go camping and chase raccoons with bows and arrows. This club was like the cub scouts, but instead of camping, they sold drugs and shot people. I don't want my kid in this club.
I'm not going to give away the ending, but I will give away a little of my hungry man chicken dinner if you ask nicely. They give you three very generous pieces of chicken, potatoes, corn and a brownie. I just can't eat the whole thing. Just write me a letter if you want some of my chicken, I'll send you a piece. Hungry Man is better than average, in the race of my life, average blew an engine on lap 15 and never came back to race. |
