Rues de sang

I am really disappointed in this film. Seeing the premise in it's description it sounded like it had a lot of potential. Val Kilmer is generally a good actor and he is not horrible in this however the plot is so confusing that it really doesn't do him justice as an actor. Sharon Stone's accent is so bad, it upstages her performance which really could have been anyone. That part didn't even warrant star billing. I don't have a problem with 50 cent. I think for who he is, playing this part was a stretch and it shows that maybe he is developing some range as an actor.

Overall the plot is just too confusing and the story seems to roam around finding itself. I still do not understand the end in that it didn't seem to be set up well in the earlier stages of the film. As I said, lot's of potential.. obviously a poorly written script.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen in 45 years. It didn't even have a hero or antihero to root for. Every character in the movie is corrupt. The script, direction, acting, everything bad, bad, bad. You may want to buy a 10 foot pole to keep this one away and I am a Val Kilmer fan!!! Maybe this movie was written by corrupt cops for corrupt cops. Did this movie get made for 150,000 dollars and go straight to DVD? It wasn't even worth being made. I would be very surprised if anyone who saw this enjoyed it and wanted to buy the DVD or watch it again, not counting Sharon Stone's mother or Val Kilmer's sister. If you love film, stay away. If you love Val Kilmer, stay away. If you love Sharon Stone, stay away. If you love Michael Beihn stay away. If you love Steven Segall movies you will enjoy this movie very much. LOL.

Instead of watching this film I could go out and do something better like jogging,playing football... but instead of doing that I wasted almost two hours on this film.First of all I liked the music and nothing else.They tried to copy Training Day and Street Kings but they didn't succeed in that.Story is really confusing,there is no real hero in the film,everything is spoiled with corruption-I don't like that.And actors...50 Cent looked like a frightened girl,he has a poor performance in this film and what to say about Sharon Stone,I couldn't recognize her at first.She has lost all her sexuality and I don't know what happened with her acting maybe she forgot how to act.I love Val Kilmer but here-average performance.And in the end,I tried to find out on Box Office Mojo how much money they earned with this film and I found nothing,the film is not even listed there.That speaks for itself!

Yet another film made bad by horrible casting choices. Seriously, how can you expect to sellout movie theaters casting Val Kilmer and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as your lead roles? To be honest, when I first heard of about this film I was surprisingly excited to see it. I've always liked Val Kilmer and thought this could actually be good. But of course the excitement didn't last long. This film is full of drawn out suspense, horrible acting splashed with horrible Louisiana accents and my favorite part of any film which is getting lost in the story. That said the 6 stars I gave for this film are strictly on the basis of its suspense aspect and any director having the kahunas to put 50 cent in their film should get just a little credit.

This movie left me bewildered and frustrated as all hell! The story had all the makings of a great corrupt cop picture. In the hands of a worthwhile director it might have even been worthy of a theatrical release. The talent was all there. The location and story were there as well. The director of photography should be charged with a crime for making the picture look like an eight year old with ADHD and a handycam shot it! This absolutely ruined everything from the start, and was distracting and throughout. Surprisingly, about half-way in, everything starts to click, the imagery is less annoying, and the story comes together. The director is horribly inept, but somehow they completed the picture. I feel bad for everyone involved watching the finished product. They also must have seen a vision in a worthwhile script, which was ultimately devastated by the hacks at Millennium Films, and the talentless director. So frustrating.
