This is a movie called " Jump out boys ", but was peddled as a film called " Lords of The Streets. " Watching this film one asks the question, why Kris Kristofferson? Was he just looking for work of any kind? He is a top notched actor and has proved himself in many other films. So why this film? I can only ascertain that the man is unemployed, and has to do something to pay the bills. With very little screen time, one can only watch the movie with patience and regret. The story is that of a Mexican Warlord who has the where-with-all to plan a superb Prison escape and then searches for his girl-friend accomplice who now works as a government informant. Indeed, after the daring escape, which is the best part of the film, the movie is all down hill as the ruthless leader, begins making mistakes everywhere. Kris Kristofferson plays Raymond, an aging New Orleans Officer, who gives his partner 90 percent of the story line and then humbly takes bows. The movie itself is poor, the acting is second rate and the rest of the movie is standard at best. It's far from a great film and one wonders if there is a refund. Except for some selected scenes, the movie is not recommended to anyone save those who are forced to sit through the rest of this second rate movie. **

Mexican drug-lord Santiango (Armando Leduc) escapes from prison looking for the 15 million dollars he asked his girl to hold on to for him, but she skipped town. Enter Travis (Ameer Baraka ), a cop, who protects the girl from the evil drug-lord. Travis's partner Ray(Kris Kristofferson) is close to retirement and hopes to enjoy it with his young wife.Poor New Orleans, first Katrina and now this. There's just too many disasters a town can take. From the heavily clichéd storyline to the horrible acting to the swiss cheese filled movie logic, this film is simply amateur hour and is quite a chore to watch indeed. Only for MAJOR DMX fans (he's not a lead despite getting top billing) all others steer clear of this disaster.My Grade: D- DVD Extras: none at all

I just lost 1h20m of my life ! This movie is awful ! I'm not kidding ! The plot is lame ,dialogs are pathetic ,acting is even worst ! Kris Kristofferson (the only real 'actor' in this 'movie' ) plays his part like a rookie . DMX (the star on the cover) appears for 4-5 minutes in the whole movie ,trying to revenge something that the director though it will be insignificant to show us .Special effects are way behind ,looking like some "80's wanna be blockbuster" The movie ends with a scene that wants to be ...i don't know how to say it , "i never wanna see something like this again" ,or "god ,why did i pay for this !!!" But hey ,who knows ,maybe you'll like it ! ( i sincerely doubt it ! ).

3 faults with this movie jump out within the first 5 minutes.1) lousy camera angles (specially mid-way thru, when the main character is racing thru the city with lights/siren, and the camera is in a 'chase' car behind. while most directors would b sure to zoom in on the first car, instead the 'chase' car's lights are shown in the scene)2) having an inter-racial partnership as main theme. this has been done hundreds of times, and doesn't really work here. especially when it's an obvious clone of Miami vice. I think if both partners were African-American, the story would be more believable.3) IF you're going to do #2 above, at least pair up 2 actors that can carry the story. I loved DMX's character. However, trying to force the viewer to believe a 72 yr old man would be his partner is ridiculous.Anyone with common sense knows that there is absolutely no way any police force would allow a 72 yr old officer to be an 'everyday' detective, that would be cruising the streets on a daily basis. It would be highly likely that they'd be enjoying retirement, or at best, would be behind a desk. I would hope Hollywood has more imagination than to keep churning out the same old story-line, every time it wants to do a cop themed movie. How many more do we have to put up with, before we see something new?
