Memorable, crazy movie

Fresh and Exciting

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

Val 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.

In a post Katrina New Orleans, law and order is not the rule. This movie chronicles the efforts of a basically good cop trying to free The streets of New Orleans from the drug dealers that are overrunning it. There are other cops that are not so clean, but how far can you bend the law trying to do your job before it finally breaks. While the tactics used are sometimes less than socially acceptable, the intention of the best of them is drug free streets. When the FBI decides to investigate them, these officers have to more closely follow the law in their search for the head of the drug dealing. Val Kilmer was great in this movie and Sharon Stone finally played a character that was finally likable. She was eloquent and acted her age. While this wasn't the best movie I have seen recently, I really enjoyed watching it and would recommend it to others.

In New Orleans after the Katrina, the partner of Detective Andy Devereaux (Val Kilmer) is found dead and he teams up with Stan Green (50 Cent) that becomes his new partner. During the investigations, am undercover DEA agent is murdered by two dirty police officers, and the psychologist Nina Ferraro (Sharon Stone) has successive interviews with Andy, Stan and the two detectives. Meanwhile, the FBI also investigate the corruption in the police force leaded by Agent Brown (Michael Biehn)."Streets of Blood" is a police story that has potential, but fails since it is very confused. The theme of corruption in the police is also interesting, but the messy screenplay of this movie ruins the story. The camera and the cinematography are poor and the edition of the DVD is awful with a terrible framing. Sharon Stone is unrecognizable. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Ruas de Sangue" ("Streets of Blood")
