Colors Ratings & Reviews
- Pissed Off Papa12 september 2025This movie is soo authentic that they used real gang members for it. My ex brother in law was a cop for a big city and he told me in the academy they showed them this movie to show them what gangs are really like. I cant stop re-watching this movie over and over.
- Mister Arn11 mars 2026“Colors” is a police drama about an anti-gang unit operating in Los Angeles during the late 1980s. The film pairs Sean Penn with Robert Duvall in a portrait of police working under constant pressure. It is less about plot than atmosphere, capturing the tension and unpredictability of gang policing in 1980s Los Angeles, even if the storytelling never reaches the sharpness of the world it portrays.
