Blood Out (2011)

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

After reading through the reviews I was in 2 minds about whether to even bother with this film. However, although I wasn't blown away by this film I wasn't completely bored either. Luke Goss didn't do an awful job at playing a bereaved brother who wanted revenge and his fight scenes were pretty good despite the fact he wasn't particularly muscular. Vinnie Jones is as you would expect, a foul mouthed heartless crook which fitted nicely with the storyline. I was very surprised to see AnnaLynne McCord and again she played her part fairly well. Although 50 Cent seemed to get a lot of trailer screen time you only see him twice in this film.There is nothing new about this film but all in all it isn't an awful action movie.

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.

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.

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!
