In honesty I had expected better than what was delivered in Colors. Something about the movie felt misplaced. The chemistry between Sean Penn and Robert Duvall did't seem quite right. The music didn't seem to fit either. This doesn't mean its a bad movie. Far from it. I thought that it was solid. It seems more dated than it is but there are some extremely good scenes and some great moments of acting from extremely accomplished actors - unfortunately it seems like those moments are individual ones which result in a lack of on screen chemistry. A few misplaced moments also seem to allow the movie to lose its rhythm and coherence. This movie is watchable but not memorable. To be frank, there is a real lack of quality in it's execution, which essentially makes it a disappointing watch for me personally given it's lead actors.
