Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

TheLittleSongbird What drew me into seeing 'Blood of Redemption' in the first place? The reasonably likeable cast, a potentially intriguing story and that it was part of my low budget completest quest and popped up in my recommended for you section. Was also a bit apprehensive, with a less than favourable rating and generally reviews that were lukewarm at best.'Blood of Redemption', when checking it out, certainly could have been much worse. There are definitely worse films about, of the genre and overall. Is it a good film let alone a great one? Not even close. Did it use its potential? No. Is it that bad? Not quite. Does it has redeeming qualities? Yes, but not many. To me, while having learnt not to trust ratings and not worry about going against the grain (though am in the minority here who respects critics opinions and tend to be on the same, or slightly above or below, page as them), the rating is about right and do have to agree with the criticisms here.Dolph Lundgren, Billy Zane and Gianni Capaldi do serviceable jobs and are the reasons as to why 'Blood of Redemption' wasn't any worse, Lundgren being the best thing of the film.Some of the story intrigued, namely the early stages, and the music while not the most memorable is at least listenable. Unfortunately, Vinnie Jones and Robert Davi are poorly served and used. Jones overdoes it and shouts his way through a stock character and Davi is saddled with a clearly fake accent and spends the whole time looking uninterested. None of the characters are developed enough and are very difficult to get behind. 'Blood of Redemption' looks cheap, especially the badly organised and sometimes incomprehensible editing and catastrophically awful visual effects, so fake looking and doesn't blend well with the setting at all. The action is both dull and chaotic, there is nothing exciting and it's choreographed with no enthusiasm or finesse.The script is too talky and has no tautness, the pace is flabby and the story gets far too complicated with the twists not being that much of a surprise. The direction seemed indicative of lack of experience or ease.Overall, not horrendous but severely lacking in many areas. 3/10 Bethany Cox

adonis98-743-186503 Quinn Forte had it all: power, money, a brother who idolized him, and a woman who loved him. He also had enemies. In the course of one night, he loses everything. Betrayed by someone in his inner circle, Quinn is set up and arrested. As much as i love Dolph Lundgren this movie didn't gave him what he needed or what he should have needed. The story and the script weren't that good unfortunately but then again should i expect something else? The characters the same and the whole thing with the card names? It's getting old guys. (3/10)

Leofwine_draca BLOOD OF REDEMPTION is one of those cheap, digital-looking B-movie thrillers that manages to amass an old-time cast and generally wastes them in a predictable and occasionally nonsensical storyline. The only reason I got any enjoyment out of it whatsoever is that I enjoy seeing once-great actors at work and I don't mind the action thriller genre either. This one starts out on a complex level, with an ageing Billy Zane betrayed by elders and forced to go on the run with the aid of an old buddy, as played by action hero Dolph Lundgren. Vinnie Jones pops up as the shouty villain of the hour while Roberts Davi and Miano play old-time gangsters. There's a wealth of violent action complete with CGI blood spatter and the like, while the film is generally dark and dingy and unsurprising.

Johnny Reese I understand it's a low budget film. But there are many things going wrong. First, the plot is too complicated and I was just left confused. Second, the gun fight (garage scene) was bad.. How do you have someone standing in the open for so long and not get shot? Besides, the sound effect for the handguns sound fake. Third, when Gianni Capaldi fighting the cash handler, at the first scene you can clearly see him far away from the edge, handler steps backwards slightly. Then the second shot he was already on the edge starting to fall backwards??? Plus... how f***ing stupid is it when Capaldi had the handler's hand as he is falling, lets him go, then said "Grab my hand"??? Lastly, why the heck did Dolph Snipe Billy Zane and her girlfriend in the end??? That is just lame....The only thing that was somewhat interesting was Dolph getting his ass kicked by his actual girlfriend (who played the dominatrix and is a karate champion). Overall, it's quite forgettable.
