Bad Cop

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!

Digging through some independent films awhile back and found a gem of a flick in "The Prodigy". After that I started following Will Kaufman to see what he would crank out next. "Sinners and Saints" does NOT disappoint.

The gun battles are fantastic. Some of the best stuff I've seen on camera in a long time. In the action field, Kaufman and company hold their own and then some with major studio productions.

Johnny Strong comes out of nowhere as a Charles Bronson for the new generation. Clint Eastwood would be proud of some of Strong's "Dirty Harry" moments in the flick. Fun performances as well from Method Man, Kim Coates, Louis Mandylor and Costas Mandylor. Wish Kim would have been in the film more.

Fans of the Prodigy will appreciate seeing Holt Boggs, Matt Beckham and Mark Hanson as well as others from the film along side names like Tom Berenger, Bas Rutten and Sean Patrick Flannery.

So many independent films these days are going the horror route or, if they do tackle something like action, they just can't hit the mark. These guys are able to do some amazing stuff with blood, sweat and tears. Can't wait to see what's next.

"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+.

Johnny Strong is one of the coolest actors I've ever seen, and he can also play a tough cop role so well. The firefights and the MMA-like knife fight in this movie are also very very nicely performed and directed; the knife fight is the second best, just one notch lower than the knife fights in the Korean movie "The Man from Nowhere". Although the screenplay is pretty weak but it simply won't be a problem since the tough and cool image and performance of Johnny Strong is such an enjoyable presence. There are some big flaws in this movie too: How come a totally ruined and deserted house since Katrina still got GAS? And you can see the leaking gas so clearly? If I didn't timely pay the gas fee, the gas company would just cut off the gas next month, they are not charity business.

I think Johnny Strong is the next sexy urban Rambo macho image and would have a great future in the movie business. If some TV companies or movie companies are smart enough, they should sign up this guy for any possible tough cop movie or TV series. I am die-hard fan of this cool dude after saw this movie, and my wife also thought he's the real deal that could match up with Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. Yeah, this movie definitely deserve a big WOW!!!!

I don't usually watch action. I prefer horror. I watched this because Costas Mandylor was in it and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the movie contained an excellent cast of actors entirely and it kept my attention throughout the whole film. Johnny Strong was a great star of the film and I feel as though he really made the main character believable. I really enjoyed it and in fact I now own the movie for further viewing. I will say that some of the shooting scenes seemed rather lengthy, but the overall story and plot as a whole was very interesting to me. I thought the use of human psychology throughout the film definitely added something. I wouldn't say this is my favorite movie, but it was definitely entertaining and collection worthy. Another great movie with Costas Mandylor in it, what more could a fan ask for?
