Lorenzo Lamas stars as an ex-cop who reluctantly goes into one man army mode to protect his louse of a brother, after said brother rips off mobsters a big amount of green. The brother also stole Lamas' girlfriend and despite all this, Lamas sees to it, that said brother doesn't sleep with the fishes. The action sequences are overly choreographed, one sided and in general unexciting, but the main problem with the Lamas loser is simply the question of why. And by that, why is Lorenzo Lamas willing to protect his idiot of a brother? The brother openly endangers family members, love interests (Including Lamas' new girlfriend) and through out the whole film is openly lying about not having the money. Said brother is a smarmy, dull and arrogant jerk in need of bullet therapy. Ergo, by having such character be the reason for Lorenzo Lamas jumpkicks and jumping over fireballs, none of it seems to be really justified. Lorenzo Lamas is no better or worse than he usually is, once again his movies were more made toward female action fans, as he is there to strike Fabio poses and bare his chest, but the problem is that there is no rooting interest in anyone. John P. Ryan shows up as Lamas' father, but alas, is completely wasted in a nothing role. This guy was a great bad guy in Death Wish 4, Avenging Force, Runaway Train, Bound and gave the perfect Patton impression in Delta Force 2. As Bad Blood's running time went on, I wished I was watching those films instead, and that about sums it up.
