Comments

Good Sean Penn Flick

Sean Penn does a great acting job in this bloods & crips gang movie. There are too many other star actors in Colors to mention, and all give credible performances. This film was overhyped and controversial when it came out, but it holds up as one of the better cops & robbers movies of the 80's.
