Don't listen to the negative reviews

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Awful movie about a bunch of idiotic trigger happy cops in New Orleans, has very little point or direction to it, and tries to lure people into watching it by featuring some big named stars (albeit washed up ones). Sharon Stone, Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn make a wage, and 50 cent proves once again that he can't act. Stone looks good for a woman in her 50s but really shows how far she has fallen from being A list material with this direct-to-video mess. Same can be said of Kilmer I suppose. Maybe worthy of a bunch of ten year olds who like to watch mindless gory violence and have little comprehension of plot lines and script. Idiotic and absurd, a true waste of time. Shows how far modern movies have fallen.

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

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.

I really liked this one. Surprisingly this movie could turn all it's disadvantages to a benefits. For example, movie is really cheap - hand camera and almost all shooting was made on real streets . And because of that it looks much more realistic and atmospheric than all "Training Day" clones. The plot is a mess, it is very hard to understand who are the heroes and villains, but this only add realism to this movie. All character are bad (like in noir movies of 50th). Actors didn't do anything special but because of that they look really believable. Val Kilmer is playing cop who never took bribes but constantly brakes laws, makes illegal searches and plants evidences to get drug dealers or simply kills them. But despite of it he is a man of strong principles. His own principles. 50 Cent is playing his partner (I must say I hate 50 cent, since he is a disgrace in music, but in this movie he actually had buff down and looked pretty decent) who torn by Kilmer's methods but always covering his back and secretly stealing money from dead dealers when he had a chance. And it is really hard to understand who is even worse cops or FBI. As I say, what really made this film special in my eyes among dozens of Training Day clones, this movie feels real. And because it felt real all it's disadvantages looks insignificant. And for everyone who felt this way, must especially enjoy the ending
