This is a cheap looking DTV Movie, is that redundant? Not always, but here it is nonetheless, and it reeks of bottom barrel badness. Rapper 50 Cent Produced this thing and he manages to mangle the English Language, swallow His words, and mumble for the complete 30 seconds he is on the Screen. Then has the audacity to put His Name on the Box. Ditto pretty much Val Kilmer, and Vinnie Jones although they don't Mumble they just barely show up.

The Colors are washed out and the lighting is awful, the Camera shakes as this announces Action and Excitement. There are many obligatory parades of Babes in varying poses as eye-candy and Gangsta Ho hangers on. The Plot tries to have some Pathos with a Murdered Brother, a White-knight Cop, and a Pregnant Street Gal who must give up "the Life" for her Baby.

Nothing here is worth much and it barely reaches the Competency Level and when it does it drops to below standard quickly. Nothing here worth your time unless you must see every Gang-Related Retread made available for a seemingly insatiable Home Video Market.

paint by numbers cop revenge movie that if you judge a book by its cover should of stared rapper 50 cent who actually was in one scene. i really only wrote a review to point that out. boring movie, no surprises, average performances by the actors and direction which lacked just that direction. it is a boring straight to DVD action movie nothing more. DO NOT BUY if your looking for a cheesy rapper movie like i was.

pros: alright sound track fight with former wwe star bobby lashley at the end

cons: 50 cent: i know i watched this cause he was on the cover but to tell the truth its probably a good thing he was barely in it. he was terrible

everything else.

In my 74 years I have never seen anything any worst than the movie "Blood Out." In fact my recommendation is that the writers fingers be put in a cast for the remainder of his/her natural life; Jason Hewitt should be barred from any set; and the producers should have their bank accounts seized in order to stop further films from being made. As for the actors (oxymoron) they too should be banned from making any more films. Even Val Kilmer - the only name in the flipping movie - was disgusting, both in appearance and line delivery.

If you can get money for this movie then anything is possible. "Only in America," as they say.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

When cop Michael Savion's (Luke Goss) small time hood brother David (Ryan Donowho) is killed by mob boss Elias (Tamer Hassan) for suspected betrayal, he takes it on himself to dispense justice after ineffectual assurances by Detective Hardwick (50 Cent.) After making a name for himself around town, taking down some hard nut local gang bangers, he finds himself invited into Elias's inner circle and asked to work for him. Elias sets his sights on turning Savion into his fighting champ in an up-coming underground fight to determine which criminal empire rules, and where Savion will strike the spring in his tail.

Action is one of my favourite genres, easily one of the most entertaining and releasing of the movie art forms. But, defend it though I might, even I couldn't argue with the point that it certainly isn't a genre known for needing your brain or particularly your imagination to much extent. It's unique in the sense that any half wit writer can think up the most lazy, formulaic idea and, as long as it delivers on the 'action' quotient and gives the audience what they've come to see, it can get away with this. For a lot of action films this does work but, while Blood Out is not quite a disaster, the laziness of the story and the join the dots script ends up making it more of a chore to sit through than a simple piece of violent, brainless fun.

Debut director Jason Hewitt doesn't seem to have any history of directing music videos, but the frenetic style he uses to shoot the film and tell the story leaves you thinking this might have been a fair assumption to make. The plot is not only simplistic but wavey and slightly incoherent, and coming in at just under an hour and a half, you've still been clock watching to see when it might be over simply on account of how bored you've ended up getting with it. None of the cast can give especially great performances, because all the roles are so generic and one dimensional, from Goss as the 'man out to avenge loved one' good guy to Hassan's cardboard villain. A host of supporting stars, including 50 Cent, Val Kilmer and Vinnie Jones (an interesting appearance, given his and Hassan's reported fisticuffs bust up in which he came off the loser) appear in what end up feeling like minor roles.

I guess if you want a simple violent, undemanding action film, Blood Out might do. But this story has been done so many times before and so much better, you might be wiser to search around. Try under Chuck Norris. **

Contrary to other reviewers I have always liked Luke Goss and he is a solid actor but only in certain roles and the hard man is not one of them.

As soon as I see Vinnie Jones in ANY movie I kinda know what I am going to get and as soon as he popped his ugly mug up my heart sank and I was right this movie is a real stinker and no mistake.

Every single actor but Goss and Ed Quinn cannot act their way out of a paper bag including Tamer and even Kilmer puts in some god awful performance with a soliloquy that has to be seen to be disbelieved - what was he thinking?From the glory days how low has Val Kilmer fallen to be second billing in this pile of cinematic ordure.

Bored me to tears and the end fight sequence has to be seen to be believed, utterly ridiculous; some sort of Mad Max Beyond Thunderboredome it was and no mistake - I just wasted an hour and a half of my life I will never get back and I am mad - Don't you be too!

This is the story of a cop whose brother was a drug dealer and was killed by his gang when he is trying lo leave his criminal life. After the death of his brother he decides to take justice into his own hands, he leaves the police and he manages to enter the gang that killed his brother. In general, the dialogs are boring and weird, some scenes are very strange indeed, in particular one with sadistic girls and their boss. Worst movie I have ever seen, this director shouldn't be able to work again. Bad story line and even worst direction. A bunch of girls and some crazy camera angles don't do the trick! Learn how to direct properly a movie.

No coherent plot, no fight scenes that are truly worth investing in, some random gladiator-looking underground battle scene, not a single character worth caring about makes this supposed vengeance/thriller movie much worse than the usual. And the usual tropes are already usually super tired to begin with. I'm slowly beginning to associate Luke Goss movies with trash that's not worth watching.

Soundtrack is also trash, and what in the world is a bloated Val Kilmer doing here? Is it to add "star power"? When he barely does anything and is bogged down with terrible dialogue like "All Hail Mars, son of Juno". I have no words. This is terrible. Don't watch and I say that as someone who love B-movie action schlock.

My mum always said if put rubbish in that is what you get out! So we can start with the camera work, think student film and obscure lighting techniques then we move to the 'over-acting' and then the 'under-acting' in some parts.

The Story line, very predictable, false advertising with regards to the single appearance of 50 Cent opposed to 'starring', add to that the improbable events that take place in a police station??? It plods along as expected, relatively good soundtrack, token chicks, gratuitous nakedness and the stilletoed heroine.

But the best of all is the last minute special effects ….. I shan't spoil it but if you don't replay it at least 3 times to double check what you just saw I'll be surprised, in fact I'll be flabbergasted, it's incredulous! Ifyou are a teenager, who enjoys action flicks for the sake of action flicks and have no concern for quality, this is your cup of tea!

Some people watch this movie just because 50 Cent is in it, think its a rap movie or something, build up expectation for it, but gets disappointed which makes it an unpleasant experience .

to fully get the full feel of this movie is just to sit, relax, let it build, and keep a good eye on the character. Luke Gose gave a stunning performance, his character keeps building throughout the movie. Moreover the script was nicely written. smart saying and quotes, which is perfectly timed.

Directing is perfect for this kind of movies, and the last end speech before it ends unexpectedly is great. i didn't want it to end, didn't see it coming its a MUST SEE!

(2011) Blood Out CRIME/ THRILLER

Co-written and directed by Jason Hewitt directing a straight-to-rental crime thriller, never been done before set up has Luke Gross as a devoted officer, Michael Savion posing as a tattoo gang land thug so he can avenge the murder of his brother since he wasn't getting any outside help from other police units. This pass is purely for the unusual direction in terms of circumstance rather than the fights and the corny bout toward the end. Popular rapper 50 Cent has a small appearance as the uncaring officer in charge of his brothers murder expressing some of the best funniest lines.

This movie was going good, but about hour watching this, I realized there's too much Man-Drama.

What do you do when the law doesn't help? After his brother is brutally murdered Sheriff Spencer (Luke Goss) is let down by the people he hoped would help. Taking matters into his own hands he goes undercover in the gang that did it in order to get revenge. Looking at the cover it seems like another 50-cent/Val Kilmer movie, which makes you think twice about getting it. Vinnie Jones, Fiddy and Kilmer have a total screen time of about 2 minutes. Luke Goss is the main star of the movie. I was not expecting a lot being that I thought it as a 50 cent/Kilmer movie, although "Gun" was not as bad as I expected so I had a little more expectations for this one. This was a movie that started off flat and never improved. The acting wasn't as bad as I expected though. It was not terrible, but had all the drama and excitement of watching a dog play fetch, fun for a while then just sitting waiting for it to end. This is a movie that a lot of people will like, I just can't get into this kind of thing. I give it a C-.

Would I watch again? - No I wouldn't

This Was One The Worst Movies I Ever Seen It Really That Bad Absolutely Boring The Plot And Story Was awful

The film is adventurous, some of the scenes are splendidly colourful in a pantomime, burlesque peep show kind of way. The streets look mean, the cops look bad and the baddies look badder, apart from Kilmer who just looks like a camp, fat has-been.

Goss plays a cop forced to throw in his badge and infiltrate the underworld to seek revenge for his brother's death. Goss has come along way since his band days, and looks the Jason Streatham'esque mean moody guy who's not to be messed with, but his accent is terrible. At times, English, at times a bit Aussie I think he just manages to get away with it, but it is distracting. His slight frame also has you questioning at times whether really, really he is capable of ploughing into guys twice his size and pummelling them to bits. When he turns sideways he most disappears.

That aside, the rest of the cast are great, specifically with regard to Tamer Hassan, who delivers a rock solid performance as the egomaniac Elias. Around him, he is surrounded with a very believable army of thugs and this alone saves the film.

I think this was a bit too big for Goss, at this juncture, especially with a non-native accent, but the action, and slow underlying story is believable and keeps you watching.

I was pretty disappointed by this move as it had great actor potential (Vinnie Jones, Val Kilmer, Tamer Hassan) but unfortunately the good actors in this movie only play minor roles .. well except Tamer Hassan.

This move actually was to short for the plot and therefore rushed from sequence to sequence which made me not care about the characters at all. Also the story is extremely standard and predictable but it even tries to be so much more as it really is which made me really not believe a thing.

On the good side are the rare scenes of the above mentioned actors. I especially liked the completely over the top gangster boss Val Kilmer. Also the action scenes are well scripted and fun to watch.

For a late night movie with a beer or two it is definitely OK. As long as you do not expect high class entertainment the move is enjoyable .. just don't start thinking about the story.

I see that most reviews do not share my opinion about this film, but im just a sucker for gangster movies. I really liked the whole concept of revenge. The fight scenes are also pretty niecely done, i found myself enjoying them. The colors were also very intresting, adding a certain vibe which was certainly a plus. Nice plot twist, intresting characters. Gangster/lowlife lifestyle done very cool, i of course dont know how the gangster lifestyle looks in real life but i think it gave an intresting perspective. Nicely done acting too, i felt the rage and all the other emotions with this one. Thats it:)
