Blue City

Golden Globe nominee Judd Nelson (Best Actor, Billionaire Boys Club) is reunited with his Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire co-star Ally Sheedy in the modern day crime drama Blue City based on the Ross MacDonald novel.

Black sheep Billy Turner (Judd Nelson, The Breakfast Club) returns to his rural Florida home to find that his father, the town's mayor, has been murdered. With little interest from local law enforcement in bringing his father's killer to justice, Billy sets out to solve the mystery with the aid of an embittered high school friend, Joey Rayford (David Caruso, TV's CSI: Miami) and Joey's sister Annie (Ally Sheedy, The Breakfast Club). Their lives are put in jeopardy when the local mob boss, Perry Kersh (Scott Wislon, The Great Gatsby), takes none too kindly to their investigation.

Blue City, directed by Michelle Manning (The Breakfast Club co-producer) from a screenplay by Walter Hill (48 Hours) and Lukas Heller (The Dirty Dozen) based on Ross MacDonald's novel, features a supporting cast that includes Paul Winfield (Sounder) and Anita Morris (The Hotel New Hampshire) with cinematographer Steven Poster (Donnie Darko) and composer Ry Cooder (The End of Violence) lending their considerable talents to the proceedings.

STREET DATE: OCTOBER 27.

Not seen this or heard of it. Love both Judd and Alley so might blind buy.

Does this have decent rewatch value?

If you like Walter Hill's stuff, then you will enjoy it.

Thanks, yeah an awful lot of his films.

As this is a crime movie (read brief description) and the year, am I looking somewhere inbetween 48hrs and Red Heat? Or am I way off?

[willo007]

A little off, those are uber violent.

This one is a little milder, it has action in it but is closer to Crossroads than to RH/48 HRS. Its closer to reality.

I'm interested in a Blind buy on this one also.

I just recenty watched this again on DVD. It's decent, Nelson may come off really unconvincing for some. It's a guilty pleasure. Cool Ry Cooder soundtrack.
