Format: DVD
Hailed by critics as one of the more important films of the 80s, "Colors" nonetheless is a fairly straightforward tragedy--there's no other direction for the story to take. Robert Duvall plays a veteran police officer working L.A.'s mean streets; hothead Sean Penn joins his CRASH anti-gang unit, predictably testing the elder partner's patience and reserve as he just tries to keep the peace and make it through that final year to retirement. Both actors bring more depth to their cliched roles than might be expected, playing off each other surprisingly well, even in moments where they are given little more to do than react. But "Colors" offers no real answers to anything. The cops are presented mostly as well-armed zookeepers, while the gang members, blessed with youth and health but not much brains, run violently about, making the story mostly a series of aimless confrontations. Art imitating life? Maybe. But careful audiences might feel they've been bamboozled, despite director Dennis Hopper's rather lofty take on it. With some scenes that are genuinely tragic and gripping--the shooting of an unarmed suspect and the movie's final scene, to name two--and a romantic subplot that deserved more time--Maria Conchita Alonso seems to just get warmed up as a bad girl flirting with the notion of being good--"Colors" seems to have more going for it than it really does. Watch it mainly for the performances and the suggestion of complexity.

The movie Colors is much more brutal & realistic than Boyz In Tha Hood, Menace II Society or New Jack City, its kind of like a documentary of hardcore street life in Southern Los Angeles from notorious street gangs such as 18th Street Posse, Florencia 13's, Latin Kings, MS13's, Grape Street Crips & Piru Street Bloods. But the movie is based on what the Cops go through their daily lifes through rough Barrios / Projects of Watts, Lynwood & South Central Los Angeles, CA. Colors also shows the brutal mentallity of how Cops deal with young blacks & latinos of the streets of Los Angeles, CA. Colors is both Dramatic & a Thrilling film, don't care who you are, good flick! Also! Ice-T debuts his hit song Colors on this movie, too!

I liked COLORS alot because it's a gritty, but realistic police drama. I grew up in bad urban streets, so I know how bad things can get. I also like the film because it explored the dangerous lives the Crypts and Bloods, who wear blue and red, naturally. There is still a bloody gang war between them, but COLORS wisely tells us they're bad background and potray them as human beings like us, and not vicious animals arrested by the police we see on TV.
Anyway, Dennis Hopper awkardly, but fantastically directed this film with Robert Duvall as a veteran cop and his young, headstrong apprentice Sean Penn, as they lead a Los Angeles gang unit against the petty crime in the streets fueled by the two rival gangs. But the boiled relationship with Duvall's calm manner and Penn's hair-trigger temper won't get them very far to survive in Watt's mean streets. That problem leads to a sad climax.
COLORS is a bit dated now when compared to more brutal, but nearly worthless gang movies nowadays. But it helped paved the way more better ones like BOYZ N THE HOOD and MENACE II SOCIETY. The film is different from both of those movies because it gives us a picturesque view of both the urban gang life and the police life.

I WATCH THIS MOVIE EVERY NOW AND THEN BECAUSE PERSONALLY IT IS VERY ENTERTAINING. A GANG MEMBER FROM L.A. ONCE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS CORNY AND WAS A HOLLYWOOD VERSION OF GANG LIFE. I LOVE THE OPENING SCENE WHEN SHAUN AND ROBERT ARE DRIVING DOWNTOWN L.A. AND THE COUNTRY MUSIC STARTS AND NEXT THE SPRAY PAINT 'COLORS' COMES UP. THE SCENE THEN CUTS OUT TO A SKYLINE VIEW OF DOWNTOWN L.A AT NIGHT AND THE MUSIC FADES OUT AND YOU HEAR THE SIRENS. THAT IS SOME NICE DIRECTING~! I HAD NO IDEA FOR YEARS AND YEARS THAT THIS MOVIE WAS THE PET PROJECT OF DENNIS HOPPER AND SHAUN PENN! THEY MADE IT HAPPEN AND NO WONDER IT IS FUN TO WATCH. THIS MOVIE ALSO HAS SOME OF THE FIRST RAP ARTIST TO GET THEIR CHANCE TO MAKE IT BIGGER. BIG DADDY KANE, SALT AND PEPPER,ERIC B AND RAKIM AND OF COURSE MR.ICE T. I WAS HOPING THE MOVIE WAS OUT IN BLU RAY BUT NO SUCH LUCK. HOWEVER, YOU GET A FULL SCREEN PICTURE ON YOUR HD TV AND IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET MUCH BETTER THEN THIS. SO I AM HAPPY WITH THIS VERSION. IT WOULD OF BEEN NICE FOR DENNIS AND SHAUN TO HAVE DONE A COMMENTARY BUT THAT IS THE BREAKS. SHAUN PENN WAS ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH AT THE MOVIES BACK IN THE DAY AND ROBERT DUVAL FROM THE GODFATHER ETC. I ENJOYED ALL THE PERFORMANCES FROM THE GANG MEMBERS ESPECIALLY GERALDO AND TRINIDAD. SAD NEWS ABOUT TRINIDAD (FROG) THAT DIED IN AUTO ACCIDENT SHORTLY AFTER THE MOVIE CAME OUT. ALL THE ACTING IS GREAT AND JUST A FUN KIND OF MOVIE THAT NOT ONCE GET'S BORING.

Dennis Hopper presented an unseen vision of Americana with EASY RIDER in 1969. It unsettled the masses. He did the same almost 20 years later with COLORS, a frightfully realistic look at urban gang warfare in Los Angeles. Hopper has always been a talent, both in front and behind the camera. COLORS could only be handled by the likes of an independent spirit like Hopper: It's tough, brutal, no watered down studio gloss, no techno effects. Hopper is an actors director and Robert Duvall and Sean Penn are a perfect fit. The oft told cop story of the veteran and the novice gets an injection of new life: the partners don't like each other, they tolerate each other for the sake of survival. Duvall and Penn give strong expected performances and the story rifles along free of expected cliches. Ice-T, in his rapper days (pre LAW & ORDER: SVU) is featured on the soundtrack.
