A somewhat inconspicuous but well executed mix of thriller and drama elements. Blue Kids is maybe a little too short and noncommittal to leave a really big impression, at the same time it's a film without any obvious weaknesses that kept the intrigue high from start to finish.
The performances are solid, the cinematography is clean (with several stand-out moments) and the soundtrack is moody. The characters are a little flimsy though and while the pacing is perfect, the story itself lacks direction. It's a fine film, quality filler that is easy to slot in because of its short runtime, but too light to be truly memorable.
