Very Cool!!!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
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.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
I was pretty disappointed by this move as it had great actor potential (Vinnie Jones, Val Kilmer, Tamer Hassan) but unfortunately the good actors in this movie only play minor roles .. well except Tamer Hassan.This move actually was to short for the plot and therefore rushed from sequence to sequence which made me not care about the characters at all. Also the story is extremely standard and predictable but it even tries to be so much more as it really is which made me really not believe a thing.On the good side are the rare scenes of the above mentioned actors. I especially liked the completely over the top gangster boss Val Kilmer. Also the action scenes are well scripted and fun to watch.For a late night movie with a beer or two it is definitely OK. As long as you do not expect high class entertainment the move is enjoyable .. just don't start thinking about the story.
STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning When cop Michael Savion's (Luke Goss) small time hood brother David (Ryan Donowho) is killed by mob boss Elias (Tamer Hassan) for suspected betrayal, he takes it on himself to dispense justice after ineffectual assurances by Detective Hardwick (50 Cent.) After making a name for himself around town, taking down some hard nut local gang bangers, he finds himself invited into Elias's inner circle and asked to work for him. Elias sets his sights on turning Savion into his fighting champ in an up-coming underground fight to determine which criminal empire rules, and where Savion will strike the spring in his tail.Action is one of my favourite genres, easily one of the most entertaining and releasing of the movie art forms. But, defend it though I might, even I couldn't argue with the point that it certainly isn't a genre known for needing your brain or particularly your imagination to much extent. It's unique in the sense that any half wit writer can think up the most lazy, formulaic idea and, as long as it delivers on the 'action' quotient and gives the audience what they've come to see, it can get away with this. For a lot of action films this does work but, while Blood Out is not quite a disaster, the laziness of the story and the join the dots script ends up making it more of a chore to sit through than a simple piece of violent, brainless fun.Debut director Jason Hewitt doesn't seem to have any history of directing music videos, but the frenetic style he uses to shoot the film and tell the story leaves you thinking this might have been a fair assumption to make. The plot is not only simplistic but wavey and slightly incoherent, and coming in at just under an hour and a half, you've still been clock watching to see when it might be over simply on account of how bored you've ended up getting with it. None of the cast can give especially great performances, because all the roles are so generic and one dimensional, from Goss as the 'man out to avenge loved one' good guy to Hassan's cardboard villain. A host of supporting stars, including 50 Cent, Val Kilmer and Vinnie Jones (an interesting appearance, given his and Hassan's reported fisticuffs bust up in which he came off the loser) appear in what end up feeling like minor roles.I guess if you want a simple violent, undemanding action film, Blood Out might do. But this story has been done so many times before and so much better, you might be wiser to search around. Try under Chuck Norris. **
This is the story of a cop whose brother was a drug dealer and was killed by his gang when he is trying lo leave his criminal life. After the death of his brother he decides to take justice into his own hands, he leaves the police and he manages to enter the gang that killed his brother. In general, the dialogs are boring and weird, some scenes are very strange indeed, in particular one with sadistic girls and their boss. Worst movie I have ever seen, this director shouldn't be able to work again. Bad story line and even worst direction. A bunch of girls and some crazy camera angles don't do the trick! Learn how to direct properly a movie.
Some people watch this movie just because 50 Cent is in it, think its a rap movie or something, build up expectation for it, but gets disappointed which makes it an unpleasant experience .to fully get the full feel of this movie is just to sit, relax, let it build, and keep a good eye on the character. Luke Gose gave a stunning performance, his character keeps building throughout the movie. Moreover the script was nicely written. smart saying and quotes, which is perfectly timed. Directing is perfect for this kind of movies, and the last end speech before it ends unexpectedly is great. i didn't want it to end, didn't see it coming its a MUST SEE!
