Plot summary

New York Police Officer Rembrandt Remy Macy (Berenger) investigates a murder which began by the discovery of a disembodied hand. After the victim is identified, the victim s ex-flatmate Nikki (Heuring) becomes scared that she may be in danger and stays at Macy s place until they can get to the bottom of the situation. After accidentally seeing her near-naked, he finds himself starting to become attracted to her and she is able to seduce him. As he investigates clue after clue, he finds out that a large conspiracy is in play involving some of the most powerful leaders in New York City, Chinese Triads and possibly Nikki herself.

Critical reception

David Nussair of Reel Film Reviews gave the film 1/2 stars out of four:

J.S. Cardone read my mind and decided to make a movie I would absolutely hate (mission accomplished, Cardo!)… There s a lot going on in True Blue, but nearly all of it sucks. There s certainly nothing interesting about this storyline, which the various Law and Order shows have dealt with at one time or another… To add insult to injury, the conclusion is far more ludicrous than anything that s come before it, with Berenger double-crossed by virtually every character that was supposedly on his side. True Blue may hold some interest for Berenger completists, but really, you d be far better off watching Shoot to Kill again.

Mitch Lovell of The Video Vacuum:

True Blue is a by the book detective flick; no more, no less… It starts off OK enough I guess, but the ending is thoroughly ridiculous as the movie piles on twist after twist in its last reel. For a flick so light on plot to begin with, the ending is especially discombobulating as person after person appear out of the shadows to sinisterly tell Berenger how and why they’re connected to the plot.
