Blood Out Remuxed (2011) (1080p)

Verenigde Staten
Actie

geregisseerd door Jason Hewitt
met Val Kilmer, Luke Goss en AnnaLynne McCord

Michael (Goss) is zogezegd een goede agent. Hij gaat undercover in de gewelddadige onderwereld om gerechtigheid te zoeken voor zijn jongere broer David, die vermoord werd door zijn eigen bende. David probeerde te ontsnappen uit de wereld van de misdaad, zodat hij kon trouwen met de knappe Anya (McCord). Hij werd vermoord om de mantra van de gang te handhaven, 'blood out'. Op zijn zoektocht ontdekt Michael een organisatie van mensenhandel geleid door de internationale bendeleider Arturo (Kilmer). Uiteindelijk wordt hij gedwongen zich te storten in een strijd tussen goed en kwaad.

I would rate this film a 6.5 out of 10. I went in definitely with very sub par expectations especially considering the opening 5 minutes of the film seemed like a blatant rip off from the opening 5 minutes of the Assault on Precinct 13 remake. Once the film moved on passed that and I adjusted to the passé (and much recently overused) style of shaky camera syndrome I was able to absorb that the film had much more to offer. Filmed in Louisiana it had a much grittier look than Los Angeles and definitely helped sell the film a lot more than a typical gang-banger flick shot in Compton. Also the film featured 50 cent but another refreshing aspect was typically in a film of that nature (a film that features a prominent rapper) more than half the soundtrack would be wishy wash songs by that artist; but this film instead had many underground and fresh artists collaborating to create a very enjoyable mix. Even the credits outro song was very good (albeit stealing the riff from 'Slow-Motion for me' rap song). Val Kilmer. Well what can you say about his appearance in this film? Is it me or has he resorted to these very bit small parts in all sorts of independent movies. He is much bigger than his days of Chris Knight in Real Genius but his presence does its job and doesn't distract the viewer all too much. More distractions fall all the sexy eye candy that is spread all over the film via slave girls in S&M outfits and Victoria Secret angel garb. A minute into the film a sexy breast is presented to us but don't let that fool you, the movie is far from a late night Skinemax T&A film... in fact after that opening gratuity shot not many more nipples make there appearance. Luke Goss is a very well fit for this film and his acting hits the X. Very believable in a role in which I don't think many men could pull off. The director, Jason Hewitt (I believe his first film directing), does a very good job in telling a way too common vigilante (cop goes undercover) story in a unique way so that the viewer doesn't feel like they are watching recycled Hollywood garbage that has been done so many times before. All in all the film is recommended (specially if you are in a macho guy action flick mood) and the soundtrack would be worth hunting down. 

Val Kilmer ...  Arturo 
AnnaLynne McCord ...  Anya 
Luke Goss ...  Michael 
Vinnie Jones ...  Zed
