Murder in Blue Light

About This Movie

Murder in Blue Light is a gritty, atmospheric thriller that dives into the dark underbelly of 1990s New York. The film follows a model, who, by day, is glamorous but by night transforms into Sherry, a Times Square prostitute. The duality of her life is intriguing, and the desperation drives her quest for revenge over her brother's murder. He died in a tragic and absurd game involving a grenade, which really sets a somber tone throughout. The pacing is a bit uneven, with some scenes dragging while others hit hard. The performances, particularly from the lead, capture a raw vulnerability. There’s an unsettling realism in the practical effects, especially given the era. It's a distinct piece that captures a specific time and mood.
