It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This film was great on so many different levels. While the cop genre of films has been picked apart and redone so many different times this film, while not bringing anything new or fresh, did provide a level of intensity and grit that is rarely seen on film. We see Johnny Strong play a police officer who is at a point in his life who is searching for stability after a series of personal traumas have him evaluating where to go next in life. While he is dealing with his own personal issues he is thrown into a violent crime wave of murders that are taking place all over the city and he is tabbed to deal with it. Without giving anything away, Strong knocks this performance out of the water. Strong is a great actor, good face for the screen and he gives a soulful, intense performance really making the viewer identify with the struggles he is going through. Also a nod to Sean Patrick Flannery for his role in this film. He brings that BDS accent, but he does a great job of adding to the grit and realness of the film. The one unspoken star in this film for me was Method Man. While he isn't on screen very much is memorable to say the least. Set in the gritty, post Katrina city of New Orleans this film is a winner. If your looking for a film to watch that involves a good story line, solid acting and good action check it out, I definitely recommend it.

reason for 7 star; due to very low budget there were couple of scenes that missed that "extra " punch. this is a guy's movie, doubt ladies will like it unless they view it for the main protagonists (heroes and anti-heroes types).plot was quiet decent, straight up, nothing spectacular but i appreciate for not being led on by some cheesy or pointless melodramatic fill up scenes.however dialogues and acting very good for an action flick (all actors more or less look the part they play). in first half had quiet a dew nice surprises not found in almost any of the low budget action flicks.i should sum it up as a decent revenge flick of sorts.

I borrowed this movie based on some earlier reviews that gave it 8 out of 10 or more. Without digging much deeper into it. I thought it would be a good evenings entertainment for myself and 2 younger men (18 & 21). However, both of them left at various points, after their patience was worn down by the movie.It starts off with a fast paced action sequence, but quickly begins jumping between what can seem to a movie goer from the last 2 decades, very long, dialog heavy sequences. The dialog scenes dragged on and the fleeting reward of the action sequences was not enough to keep my 2 associates entertained. (one left 55 minutes in, another at 70 minutes)The writing throughout these scenes was clunky, and whilst it did help establish the plot. It would benefit from some serious cuts and perhaps even a rewrite.That said the movie did pick up around the halfway point, with both plot becoming clearer and the movie finally achieving some decent writing for the dialog scenes. I feel that the movie certainly deserves credit for the final action sequences, which were a standout amongst a number of well choreographed moves.Verdict: If you enjoy drama and dialog, with your action. Then there are better options out there that also manage to include some lighter moments. But as long as you can stand the first forty minutes, it should pay off. Standout - final action sequence; the fact Johnny Strong is decent to look at didn't hurt either Let downs - the dialog and writing throughout the first half of the film Recommendation - Maybe fast forward through the talk, or skip to the halfway point and begin from there

I have seen my share of action movies and believe it or not, after checking out the movie's score here, I went out of my way to write my very first review on IMDb.I've just finished watching "Sinners & Saints" and after doing a quick search for the song playing when the credits were rolling (great song by the way, if anyone is interested look for "Johnny Strong - Let You Go"), I came to IMDb where I usually check and read about movies, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the rating this movie had.To start off, this is no original movie, so don't expect to have your mind blown out of the way and don't expect to see any breath taking plot twists. Though this movie doesn't add anything especially new to the recipe it does a very good job in setting itself apart from other action movies.I have rarely found myself so captivated by a shoot-out movie. It made me lose track of reality and I found myself cheering for the main character and hating the "villains", which although it might seem like a simple enough premise, it is something that very few of the movies I've seen lately managed to accomplish.I don't want to spoil anything, nor do I want to set any special expectations, so I will refrain myself from saying anything about the action scenes or character development.I have really enjoyed watching "Sinners & Saints". It said something meaningful to me, and I think That is the best thing a movie can accomplish.
