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.

In a popular speakeasy, Jack Malone, a dirty cop, haunted by nightmares of war, finds a new location to shake down. But there's a presence within the walls of the club, run by Chesterfield, played by Ice-T. When Malone comes to collect his "luxury tax" he and his partner incite a small war against a den of vampires.
The movie is amazing, the style is sweet and the costume design is on point- I loved it all! The originality is what really keeps this movie entertaining. Running blood, a much-craved liquid via the underground, by vamps, is a pretty wild idea, making Bloodrunners and exciting surprise and electrifying!
Other than watching a vampire get staked in the shoulder, but later spotted with it in the center of his chest, I found nothing wrong with the movie. It's classy, well put together and the special effects are vigorous and enjoyable.
Take a look at Bloodrunners, releasing later in 2017.

What can I say? The concept alone is right off the SyFy channel. However, the acting of a few of the characters was decent. Ice-T was better than expected. Mike MacFeddan was a not too bad as the crooked cop. Peter Patrakios chewed up the scenery with no control over his inner monologue. Chris Jame Boylin was a sexy beast who's handyman skills made the movie worth watching.
Surprisingly, the movie was better than expected and the end built to a fulfilling climax. It wasn't a waste of time after all... I may even watch it again.

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
This movie was definitely not my cup of tea. In fact, I only managed to endure 50 minutes of the ordeal before I turned it off out of complete and utter boredom.
There simply was nothing interesting to the storyline, nor the characters, and I quickly lost interest in the movie, but still, I opted to give it a chance and managed to endure 50 minutes. But the movie was just lacking on all fronts, and there was nothing entertaining here for me.
Initially, when I saw that it was Ice T that was on the cast list, I was ready to skip on the movie. Yeah, I can't claim to be much of a fan of him neither in movies nor music.
But still, it was a vampire movie, so I decided to watch it. But turned out that the vampire aspect was a mere backdrop to the movie.
I am rating "Bloodrunners" three out of ten stars, solely because it did have some adequate production value. But for terms of entertainment, then this movie failed to provide any for me.

- TriviaThe location for the "dungeon under the speakeasy" was an ACTUAL speakeasy back in the 1920s. The secret room was hidden under the Star Hotel in Marcus Hook, PA - a port frequented by sailors back in the day. The original hidden stairways and plastered walls can be seen in the movie.
- GoofsA shipment of bottles from Canada is encased in crates bearing the maple leaf. The maple leaf has been a recognized symbol of Canada since the 1850s. However, Canada was still flying the Union Jack in 1933 and didn't adopt the maple leaf symbol, until October 22, 1964 and was proclaimed into law by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (the Queen of Canada) on February 15, 1965.
