Rues de sang

This was the worst movie I have ever seen in 45 years. It didn't even have a hero or antihero to root for. Every character in the movie is corrupt. The script, direction, acting, everything bad, bad, bad. You may want to buy a 10 foot pole to keep this one away and I am a Val Kilmer fan!!! Maybe this movie was written by corrupt cops for corrupt cops. Did this movie get made for 150,000 dollars and go straight to DVD? It wasn't even worth being made. I would be very surprised if anyone who saw this enjoyed it and wanted to buy the DVD or watch it again, not counting Sharon Stone's mother or Val Kilmer's sister. If you love film, stay away. If you love Val Kilmer, stay away. If you love Sharon Stone, stay away. If you love Michael Beihn stay away. If you love Steven Segall movies you will enjoy this movie very much. LOL.

I think this piece of crap pretty much ranks down there as the worst film in the history of cinema. Can't believe they had Sharon Stone and Val Kilmer participate in this for a paycheck. I guess they needed the money. Val Kilmer acting opposite a gangster rapper now there's a washed up actor!

The so-called "director" is worse than a 1st yr NYU student at film-making. How do these people get the financing and get to "direct" movies just blows my mind... It's shot with this totally wanking documentary style which looks cheap and I find really distracting. Millennium Films sucks gas.

I saw this movie because I was interested in the plot and the cast. The "dirty cops" premise is lately becoming an exploitation, to mind come "Training day", "Dark blue", "Narc", and "Dirty". Unfortunately all these are far superior than this mess. The cinematography is nothing special, sometimes OK, sometimes awful. The story is quasi-complicated and fails to bring any tension whatsoever. The acting is not bad, but nothing special either. Val Kilmer, Sharon Stone and Barry Shabaka Hennley have little to work with. Biehn is pretty enjoyable. To me the biggest surprise was 50 cent - he wouldn't win any award for his acting here, but let's be honest, if I didn't knew he wasn't an actor but a gangsta-rapper I would have never guessed it. His character is supposed to be torn apart between right and wrong, but we don't really feel for him or never do we really see his inner struggle. This is however due to bad writing and is not Jackson's fault. He is not worse than any of the other actors in the movie, this could be due to the thin story, but still he does OK, no complaints here. Of course to all who know something about 50 cent, fans or haters, it is hilarious to hysterical to watch him run around dressed as a patrol cop. The dialogue is average. Now the action on the other hand, if not on par with films as "Heat", "Ronin", or even Michael Bay's flicks is actually quite well executed. The viewer is never confused who is shooting at whom and why, no guns firing 100000000 bullets without reloading either. The ending doesn't make much sense. The editing is good, no MTV-style quick cuts. Overall it is just a movie to kill some time with, but don't expect anything above average. If You are interested in the cast feel free to watch it.

In New Orleans after the Katrina, the partner of Detective Andy Devereaux (Val Kilmer) is found dead and he teams up with Stan Green (50 Cent) that becomes his new partner. During the investigations, am undercover DEA agent is murdered by two dirty police officers, and the psychologist Nina Ferraro (Sharon Stone) has successive interviews with Andy, Stan and the two detectives. Meanwhile, the FBI also investigate the corruption in the police force leaded by Agent Brown (Michael Biehn).

"Streets of Blood" is a police story that has potential, but fails since it is very confused. The theme of corruption in the police is also interesting, but the messy screenplay of this movie ruins the story. The camera and the cinematography are poor and the edition of the DVD is awful with a terrible framing. Sharon Stone is unrecognizable. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Ruas de Sangue" ("Streets of Blood")

Instead of watching this film I could go out and do something better like jogging,playing football... but instead of doing that I wasted almost two hours on this film.First of all I liked the music and nothing else.They tried to copy Training Day and Street Kings but they didn't succeed in that.Story is really confusing,there is no real hero in the film,everything is spoiled with corruption-I don't like that.And actors...50 Cent looked like a frightened girl,he has a poor performance in this film and what to say about Sharon Stone,I couldn't recognize her at first.She has lost all her sexuality and I don't know what happened with her acting maybe she forgot how to act.I love Val Kilmer but here-average performance.And in the end,I tried to find out on Box Office Mojo how much money they earned with this film and I found nothing,the film is not even listed there.That speaks for itself!
