Justiceiros da Rua

This is a movie called " Jump out boys ", but was peddled as a film called " Lords of The Streets. " Watching this film one asks the question, why Kris Kristofferson? Was he just looking for work of any kind? He is a top notched actor and has proved himself in many other films. So why this film? I can only ascertain that the man is unemployed, and has to do something to pay the bills. With very little screen time, one can only watch the movie with patience and regret. The story is that of a Mexican Warlord who has the where-with-all to plan a superb Prison escape and then searches for his girl-friend accomplice who now works as a government informant. Indeed, after the daring escape, which is the best part of the film, the movie is all down hill as the ruthless leader, begins making mistakes everywhere. Kris Kristofferson plays Raymond, an aging New Orleans Officer, who gives his partner 90 percent of the story line and then humbly takes bows. The movie itself is poor, the acting is second rate and the rest of the movie is standard at best. It's far from a great film and one wonders if there is a refund. Except for some selected scenes, the movie is not recommended to anyone save those who are forced to sit through the rest of this second rate movie. **

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

If your instinct tells you that a film is not worth the watch, heed the warning, find another film instead. Because failure to do so may cause you to waste your precious time.

I learn it the hard way. I decided to watch this film even though my instinct told me not to.

This film is bad from the get go. The cast is terrible (LOL DMX as the main guy? You have got to be kidding me!). And the other actors weren't that convincing either.

And the worst part of this film is the camera angles. It is so amateurish and lacked quality. It was like watching high school kids doing some assignment for the schoolwork.

Verdict : DMX can't act . Period .

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.

I just lost 1h20m of my life ! This movie is awful ! I'm not kidding ! The plot is lame ,dialogs are pathetic ,acting is even worst ! Kris Kristofferson (the only real 'actor' in this 'movie' ) plays his part like a rookie . DMX (the star on the cover) appears for 4-5 minutes in the whole movie ,trying to revenge something that the director though it will be insignificant to show us .Special effects are way behind ,looking like some "80's wanna be blockbuster" The movie ends with a scene that wants to be ...i don't know how to say it , "i never wanna see something like this again" ,or "god ,why did i pay for this !!!" But hey ,who knows ,maybe you'll like it ! ( i sincerely doubt it ! ).
