Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Gee, I'm gonna have to play the devil's advocate with this film, shamelessly called as being the worst movie ever or things close to such remark. If "Streets of Blood" is the worst thing people are seeing lately then it's better they stay away from movies. It's just another direct-to-video flick that is filled with poor moments and some average acting but it overcomes some of those obstacles and becomes something watchable, easy to digest. Good and that's it.The plot goes to show that corruption is everywhere, no one is safe but some corrupt cops are better than the others. It follows Val Kilmer and Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) as two cops investigating the deaths of several criminals in the New Orleans post-Katrina, a place now devastated, trying to recover from its problems. They're not 100% honest but they're better than their strange partners (played by Brian Presley and Jose Pablo Cantillo), also cops, but with no discipline whatsoever, committing crimes on several occasions, and in one of those they've killed an undercover agent. Parallel to the deaths and the cops routine, there's the Internal Affairs investigation made by Sharon Stone's character trying to figure out if there's dirty cops in the police force when she's positive that there is. Action scenes are okay, nothing so outstanding. The drama was very problematic with flashbacks that were badly presented, hard to put in order and they diluted the possible chance of suspense. However, the biggest problem is that it tries too hard to impress with its scenes (like the shooting in the drug dealer's house with a horny couple that couldn't stop with the sex while bullets were flying next to them; or when the cops are trying to get information from the hookers.) without making any relevant statement about New Orleans problems after the Hurricane Katrina. To the writers it's far more interesting to say that the crime got worse after the natural disaster but let's show this on a action generic picture than to make dramatic and real statements. But it's so much better than "Hard Luck" whose premise is very similar (in dealing with the tragedy in New Orleans) but that was a pretty bad movie with no chance of redemption. And Hollywood still hasn't made one decent movie about this issue, it's about time.When it comes the acting department, well, Kilmer and Stone are not on their best form; Jackson goes okay so does Presley playing the redneck cop who always accidentally fires at somebody; Barry Shabaka Henley saved the day playing the only good cop in town; Michael Biehn already tired me out countless times while playing villains.Really, this is not that bad as viewers tend to say. It offers some good entertainment, a distraction and some good scenes like the repeated exchange between Jackson and a lawyer one cursing each other. I've seen worst things than this film and I trust that some of you as well. 6/10

This was the worst movie I have ever seen in 45 years. It didn't even have a hero or antihero to root for. Every character in the movie is corrupt. The script, direction, acting, everything bad, bad, bad. You may want to buy a 10 foot pole to keep this one away and I am a Val Kilmer fan!!! Maybe this movie was written by corrupt cops for corrupt cops. Did this movie get made for 150,000 dollars and go straight to DVD? It wasn't even worth being made. I would be very surprised if anyone who saw this enjoyed it and wanted to buy the DVD or watch it again, not counting Sharon Stone's mother or Val Kilmer's sister. If you love film, stay away. If you love Val Kilmer, stay away. If you love Sharon Stone, stay away. If you love Michael Beihn stay away. If you love Steven Segall movies you will enjoy this movie very much. LOL.

I think this piece of crap pretty much ranks down there as the worst film in the history of cinema. Can't believe they had Sharon Stone and Val Kilmer participate in this for a paycheck. I guess they needed the money. Val Kilmer acting opposite a gangster rapper now there's a washed up actor! The so-called "director" is worse than a 1st yr NYU student at film-making. How do these people get the financing and get to "direct" movies just blows my mind... It's shot with this totally wanking documentary style which looks cheap and I find really distracting. Millennium Films sucks gas.

Val Kilmer plays a cop who in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, discovers his partner dead. It transpires that he may have been murdered. Hooking up with a new partner (Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, who has turned into a solid actor) he begins a decent into to a criminal underworld with ties to the New Orleans police. Good, little action film is the sort of thing to fill a slow weekend afternoon. The action is good, the performances serviceable and the plot interesting enough to hold your interest. Certainly the opening sequences that take place in the flooded city grabbed me enough that I wanted to see where the rest of the film went. Is it something you'd want to buy on DVD or pay for a rental? probably not, but as something to catch on cable (where I'm guessing it will find a home on SPIKE of FX) its worth your time, if not a bowl of popcorn.
