Sinners and Saints

Johnny Strong is one of the coolest actors I've ever seen, and he can also play a tough cop role so well. The firefights and the MMA-like knife fight in this movie are also very very nicely performed and directed; the knife fight is the second best, just one notch lower than the knife fights in the Korean movie "The Man from Nowhere". Although the screenplay is pretty weak but it simply won't be a problem since the tough and cool image and performance of Johnny Strong is such an enjoyable presence. There are some big flaws in this movie too: How come a totally ruined and deserted house since Katrina still got GAS? And you can see the leaking gas so clearly? If I didn't timely pay the gas fee, the gas company would just cut off the gas next month, they are not charity business.

I think Johnny Strong is the next sexy urban Rambo macho image and would have a great future in the movie business. If some TV companies or movie companies are smart enough, they should sign up this guy for any possible tough cop movie or TV series. I am die-hard fan of this cool dude after saw this movie, and my wife also thought he's the real deal that could match up with Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. Yeah, this movie definitely deserve a big WOW!!!!

Johnny Strong lives up to his name in this new entry in the cop action movie. Strong plays a tough street cop with demons of his own on the trail of a sadistic murder crew in New Orleans. There's plenty of gritty action and gun play. The high body count is mostly thanks to Johnny Strong himself who plays judge, jury and executioner to the lowlife gangsters he encounters. There's a good supporting cast featuring Tom Berenger, Sean Patrick Flannery and martial arts bad guys Costas Mandylor and Bas Rutten, but this movie belongs to Strong. His physical presence is as important as his dialogue. In one fearsome fight scene the shirtless Strong, ripped and sporting some awesome ink, slays 4 thugs up close and personal. The plot twists and turns and the villains do some awful stuff before Strong and his partner, clean cut Kevin Phillips, bring them to justice. It doesn't take a genius to figure out this movie is working the whole Lethal Weapon thing, but it seems to update it with more realistic characters and some graphic action that might be too much for the squeamish. Still, if you like to see a tough cop cleaning up the streets old school, this flick is for you.

I have seen my share of action movies and believe it or not, after checking out the movie's score here, I went out of my way to write my very first review on IMDb.

I've just finished watching "Sinners & Saints" and after doing a quick search for the song playing when the credits were rolling (great song by the way, if anyone is interested look for "Johnny Strong - Let You Go"), I came to IMDb where I usually check and read about movies, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the rating this movie had.

To start off, this is no original movie, so don't expect to have your mind blown out of the way and don't expect to see any breath taking plot twists. Though this movie doesn't add anything especially new to the recipe it does a very good job in setting itself apart from other action movies.

I have rarely found myself so captivated by a shoot-out movie. It made me lose track of reality and I found myself cheering for the main character and hating the "villains", which although it might seem like a simple enough premise, it is something that very few of the movies I've seen lately managed to accomplish.

I don't want to spoil anything, nor do I want to set any special expectations, so I will refrain myself from saying anything about the action scenes or character development.

I have really enjoyed watching "Sinners & Saints". It said something meaningful to me, and I think That is the best thing a movie can accomplish.

Well first off I got to say, that movie is seriously underrated. I didn't hear or read anything about it, was just by coincidence I found it.

I didn't have any high hopes etc. before I saw it, but I was surprised by the high review scores it has gotten here. But let me say as much, u wont be disappointed if u like good old, dull action movies. I do.

Especially the shootouts belong to the best ones I've seen since Heat. They are very well choreographed, people are moving like real combatants, holding their weapons correctly, maneuvering realistically with covering each other instead of just running into the enemy fire like retards. Well at least the main actors do. You can see that some thought and training went into these scenes. It is very entertaining to watch. CG is a little bit poor sometimes, but nothing that spoils anything.

I wont go into detail any further, but if u like action and good shootouts u wont be disappointed by that movie. If u prefer solid acting, dialog and depth u might wanna look somewhere else.

I don't usually watch action. I prefer horror. I watched this because Costas Mandylor was in it and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the movie contained an excellent cast of actors entirely and it kept my attention throughout the whole film. Johnny Strong was a great star of the film and I feel as though he really made the main character believable. I really enjoyed it and in fact I now own the movie for further viewing. I will say that some of the shooting scenes seemed rather lengthy, but the overall story and plot as a whole was very interesting to me. I thought the use of human psychology throughout the film definitely added something. I wouldn't say this is my favorite movie, but it was definitely entertaining and collection worthy. Another great movie with Costas Mandylor in it, what more could a fan ask for?
