"Colors" primarily contents itself with concentrating upon the lethal gun and gang culture that permeates and blights the inner cities of America which young men and women devote their lives to as a means of survival on the streets instead of endeavouring to better themselves by accomplishing something more socially worthwhile. The instantly forgettable story and characters always seem to be languishing in second place and while this insight into America's dangerous gang culture can be periodically interesting and certainly extremely illuminating at times it is still a major and ultimately damaging miscalculation to make it the sole basis of the entire film unless it is your intention to produce a documentary exploring these socially critical issues otherwise you're left with what is essentially a long winded film which is not as important or incisive as it thinks and that is certainly the case here.
