Lords of the Streets

Mexican drug-lord Santiango (Armando Leduc) escapes from prison looking for the 15 million dollars he asked his girl to hold on to for him, but she skipped town. Enter Travis (Ameer Baraka ), a cop, who protects the girl from the evil drug-lord. Travis's partner Ray(Kris Kristofferson) is close to retirement and hopes to enjoy it with his young wife.

Poor New Orleans, first Katrina and now this. There's just too many disasters a town can take. From the heavily clichéd storyline to the horrible acting to the swiss cheese filled movie logic, this film is simply amateur hour and is quite a chore to watch indeed. Only for MAJOR DMX fans (he's not a lead despite getting top billing) all others steer clear of this disaster.

My Grade: D-

DVD Extras: none at all

I've seen films by grade 10 students, who could do a better job then Garcia has done at writing and producing. Who the hell bank rolls this kind of crap. Christoffersen looks like he should be on his death bed and where the hell did they get this cast of so called actors from? Within 5 min of the start of this I wanted to shut it down but for some reason I watched the full 83 min of this crap and decided I had to go on the internet to see who this idiot was who produced it. I could not find a comment about anything he has done that actually gave proof to the fact that this guy has one bit of talent when it comes to writing and producing. I believe that dmx gave him a bunch of his cash to make him a movie star but they together have failed miserably at this and If dmx really believes that he was that good at what he does he had better start saving his cash because it won't last long enough to make that sorry rapper a movie star.Take it from me a complete and utter waste of 1 hr and 23 min of anyones life who would even consider renting this garbage...

The bad boy dynamic duo of the old timer detective with a taste for Willie Nelson and his young African American partner who drives fast and listens to Tupac are on a mission and they'll stop at nothing, even if it means breaking the rules.(oh my...)

The entire film is an exhilarating race from one cliché to the next. There is even a perfect cast to accompany the abhorrent script attached to it's dull plot. This is a classic case of B-movie denial.

I can't say I'm surprised due to the sketchy history for all those involved, but I had expected something better than a backyard film with a hefty budget.

Like the man said, I'd like the time back I spent watching this. Most amusing to me was the amount of time spent with the two of them in the car, and the rear window chroma or CGI which reminded me of the "Toonces the Driving Cat" skits on SNL. It's no wonder they didn't list filming locations, most of this could have been done in someone's garage.

And way to take one more smack at post katrina nawlins, folks.

People who know me will recall I often say there is no such thing as a bad pizza or a bad movie.

I have to strike that last part now.

This is a stinker.

I took the time to sign up to IMDb solely to express my utter contempt for this waste of film.

I didn't think it was possible to cast the worst actors in the world all in the same movie, but they managed. Terrible acting... sounds like they are reading from the script (for the first time). Not to mention this movie has been done so many times before.

The main character (the black detective who couldn't detect a crime if it fell out of the sky and landed on his face.) actually invoked an emotion in me. Anger... His acting was so terrible it actually made me mad. (Oh yeah, PS.. Take off those unbelievably ridiculous sunglasses.) What a tool.

I give this movie a 1 (since there is no option for 0) I would like that 120 minutes of my life back.
