Black and Blue

Alicia West (Naomi Harris) returns to her childhood neighborhood in New Orleans as a rookie Police Officer after a stint in the Army which she saw as the only way to escape the crime and lack of opportunity.

On her first night shift she witnesses a corrupt colleague shooting a local drug dealer to cover up his own deals in confiscated narcotics.

West has the whole thing recorded on her bodycam and is suddenly on the run from both her own dept. and the drug dealers who blame her for the death.

This is a very by the numbers action movie.

If it were the 70s it might have been Eastwood in the role, if it were the 90s it might have been Bruce Willis. Instead Naomi Harris sleepwalks through the cop on the run clichés in a post The Wire version of an old old story that could have been set any time from the 50s to now, except for the aforementioned bodycam.

It's not actually bad it's just very very pedestrian 5/10.

I had in my head this was well received, I must have misremembered.
