Watched due to an interest in the area and the culture. This effort was painful to watch and listen to.
Awful movie about a bunch of idiotic trigger happy cops in New Orleans, has very little point or direction to it, and tries to lure people into watching it by featuring some big named stars (albeit washed up ones). Sharon Stone, Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn make a wage, and 50 cent proves once again that he can't act.
I like this film, although it's a little over the top regarding the violence. I was born and raised in North Louisiana.
Good emoting, but unrealistic. None of the gangs post any guards.
This movie left me bewildered and frustrated as all hell! The story had all the makings of a great corrupt cop picture.
Val Kilmer...what happened?
Set on the backdrop of devastated New Orleans after the Katrina, the partner of Detective Andy Devereaux (Val Kilmer) is found dead. Devereauz soon teams up with Stan Green (50 Cent) as new partner.
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.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, policeman Val Kilmer partners up with 50 Cents to get control of the drug gangs that have taken over the city. The story, which starts out as a bunch of disconnected scenes, is interrupted by interviews conducted by Sharon Stone who over did the accent.
