Another excellent film from an independent production company. With stellar actors such as Val Kilmer, Curtis :50 Cent" Jackson, Michael Biehn and Sharon Stone staring in this thriller film. A police officer's partner has died during Hurricane Katrina, but he later discovers that his partner may have been murdered. An investigation follows, taking the officer and his new partner into the depths of the criminal underworld. Actor Sharon Stone really pulls off her part working with Val Kilmer.Directed by Charles Winkler and written by Eugene Hess and Eugene Hess set in the Big Easy New Orleans.
... View MoreVal Kilmer...what happened? Not to say Streets of Blood is that bad of a movie, but what happened to Heat? Played? Hmm. Surprised to see Sharon Stone too.Anyway, Streets follows Andy Devereaux (Kilmer) and his new partner Stan (50 Cent) and their efforts to rid the New Orleans Police Department of unnecessary corruption. Unnecessary because Andy and Stan have decided to take the law into their own hands. So have two other officers (Brian Presley and Jose Pablo Cantillo), however their exploits led to the death of an undercover DEA agent. An investigator (from the city, naturally) (Michael Biehn btw)comes down to check on all of these characters. Sharon Stone meanwhile sits around and asks straightforward questions to our heroes.The acting...is what you'd expect from a straight to DVD movie. On the part of Kilmer and Biehn, it's great. Especially Biehn, who's the best performance in the film. Fiddy is okay. Jose Pablo Cantillo is pretty good too as a foul mouthed cop. Couldn't help but think of Mark Wahlberg's character from The Departed. I was surprised to see Barry Shabaka Henley, one of those "that guy" actors that you know-but-not-by-name. He was Cptn. Friendly. By far Sharon Stone is the worst, her accent is indescribably bad.It's exactly what you expect, nothing more, nothing less. Maybe I'll watch it again, someday.
... View MoreI really enjoyed this movie. Val Kilmer, Sharon Stone and Michael Biehn really did a fine job and its good to see them all back in great form! Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn already established their on screen chemistry in Tombstone; and they followed through on this film. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I have not enjoyed many Kilmer or Stone movies lately, but this one has put them back on the fast track map in my opinion. The story covered the post Katrina element; and the way the streets were thereafter. Also the polices role in the rapidly falling city. There were armed gangs everywhere calling the shots and some armed gangs of cops too; but can you blame them? Two thumbs up and two toes!
... View More"Guy's like Andy and me, were all that stands between people like you and the end of the motherfucking world" strong movie, good ending!Didn't even know this was half a rapper flick but it did the job for a great movie night.the movie delivers a nice break in the action with the moments before the action starts again, not really for kids though. I would say for the swearing and nudity, it was acceptable for the feel of realism in the movie.the movie shows real footage of the new Orleans disaster and gets you hooked from the start!i would definitely recommend this movie to all the rapper fans and all the people who normally hate the rapper scene because this movie will prove that it is possible to keep the story line on top and the rap second that by the way makes up for some good soundtracks............................enjoy the movie!
