Bloodrunners

Oh poor Ice T, how the mighty have fallen. The overall story had some merit & the setting of vampires "running" blood out of a small town, that finally drives them out (sort of) was intriguing enough to warrant a watch. But I was wrong. The dialog = atrocious. Acting = worse. Action scenes were beyond silly. Attention to details (see goofs) was awful. Ice T was still a presence - but why was he in this?

So basically, "Bloodrunners" is about a bunch of gangsters in the prohibition era who are vampires. It sounds stupid, but the film ends up being (surprisingly) a bit of fun to watch.

Not only that, its dialogue and acting is cheesy, its special effects aren't that good, and it looks pretty low budget. Somehow, the film holds up from all of these problems. One of the pros come from its nicely done pacing.

It's simple fun. Don't go into it expecting it to be the next "Godfather". It's not the best, it's actually very far from the best, but it's just simple movie fun.

Overall, if you're looking a quick and cool movie experience, you can watch this. 6/10.

For low budget movies, this thing is nothing short of a miracle. It looks like it had a bigger budget than $180K. The sets, the costumes, the props, the number of locations.... the writer/director/cinematographer/production designer, Dan Lantz pulled a rabbit out of his hat. The writer/producer, Adam Danoff must have pulled every favor from every person he knew. I have to applaud the sheer task accomplished.

The story, acting, plot are your run-of-the mill horror comedy fare, nothing unique (but not in a bad way). It just not something you'd expect to see from such a small budget.

Right of the bat, i could not tell if this was prohibition 2020 or the 1920s. Getting mixed signal about that direction there. You also get to meet Ice T with a big fat diamond earring which i guess men back then wear. The dialogue from the first officer yapping away sounds 20th century. The editing where the singer performs one song had multiple annoying dissolves. And then we are back to the past when the waitress talks with 1920s accent. Confused... could not watch it. Oh don't forget the vampire who did the matrix move in the bed scene. Now if this movie is told and shot and edited.. in the classic way, i bet there is a descent movie in there somewhere. I have to fail this one. Next project please

A dirty cop starts to believe that his town is controlled by a group of vampires. I try not to take this kind of movies too serious, and you shouldn't either.
