Streets of Blood (2009 Video)
4/10
Hurricane Story, Hurricane Budget
13 September 2023
You can like the faces involved in this dtv trip, but this "dirty cops" movie has all the twists and turns you're expecting or have seen before countless times. It's a bit disjointed and they were obviously working with limited time, money, heck maybe an incomplete script.

In the midst of hurricane Katrina, Det. Devereaux (Kilmer) stumbles upon his former partners body in a warehouse and seems oddly unphased by it. He gains Det. Johnson (50 Cent) as a new partner. They get intertwined with dirty cops who end up killing an undercover federal agent. This gets FBI Agent Brown (Michael Biehn) involved. While Devereaux makes trips to the police therapist (Sharon Stone) as the usual assortment of police corruption & gangster bits play out.

What to take away from this? Quick paychecks for everyone. A Nu Image / Millennium Films dtv quickie. Kilmer & Biehn get to share the screen again. Stone doesn't get to make much of an impact with her character. 'Streets of Blood' features a poor ending, but Kilmer and 50 Cent became friends in real life so there's that.
