Sinners and Saints

When i decided to watch this movie i wasn't expecting much from it, i hoped for something similar to "Street Kings 2: Motor City" but slightly better. As it turned out it was a lot better than that cheap "Street Kings-2" which had nothing common with first part.

Sinners & Saints offers great acting, action, uncensored violence in some places and not boring story line. Don't know if it's good or bad, but there almost didn't have any female actors in film, consequently no sexual or female nudity scenes at all, though a little unusual for the action movie.

I would recommend to see this movie for Street Kings first part, Running Scared and similar movie fans. You will enjoy it!

This film was action movie popcorn fun. Like an action flick you catch halfway through on TV but stop and watch the rest anyway.

The gunfights and gear were great and brutal. Whoever choreographed the gunfights did a bang up job with the weapons handling and gear/holster choices. In true action movie fashion there's a few instances of endless magazines but still a lot of reloads.

The acting was so so and it was what I expected from a awesome shootout movie but it still had a lot of great 2nd string actors like Flannery, Berenger, and a few others that you don't know by name but will recognize. Johnny Strong will only get recognized for Black Hawk Down and Fast and the Furious but he did a good job for leading a fun Street Kings, Dirty Harry, gunfight flick.

If you have a couple of hours to kill, and can find the movie, go ahead and give it a shot.

"This is N'Awlins white boy, you ain't seen nothing' yet." After a call goes horribly bad Detective Sean Riley (Strong) is given a new partner. Trying to cope with a failed marriage, the death of his son, and a series of brutal murders that is affecting the entire city he is a very unstable officer. When clues lead to something bigger then either expected it is up to the two new partners to work together and stop the ring before it's too late. Lately the "cop revenge" movies have been very slow and not exciting to watch (Blood Out/Set Up). This one, while slow in parts, is very good. I tried as hard as I could not to compare the two, but this one reminded me of a harsher "Lethal Weapon". There really is nothing new in this movie. A loose cannon of a detective is teamed with a family man who is by the book, the two somehow can work together and yada...yada...yada. Even though this is a movie that has been done to death it is still very enjoyable and very much worth watching. I really enjoyed it. Overall, one of the few repetitive type movies that is exciting and worth a watch. I give it a B+.

The film is set in New Orleans sometime after Hurricane Katrina with violence still running rampant in the underbelly of the city. The style and format reminds you of the first Lethal Weapon as Johnny Strong's character (Sean) is a loose cannon with a death wish. His child has died and his wife has left him so he goes it alone in the streets taking down criminals.

A tough, rugged cop with his own flare and own rules, Sean gets wrapped up in an old friends (Sean Patrick Flannery) Colin turbulent trouble. The high body count and great gun fight sequences bring the flare of action to the film. With a supporting cast with the likes of Costas Mandylor, Tom Berenger and Bas Rutten to the mix it does justice to the film. It is a good film, not superb acting, editing a little transparent but good story. If you like action, a good plot and character driven films this will do fine. A 6 out of 10

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.
