Excellent, a Must See

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

My favorite action movie until I watched Sinners and Saints was the BOONDOCK SAINTS that is the reason I bought Sinners and Saints- Sean Patrick Flannery. This movie was awesome from the beginning. I have watched this movie numerous times and it doesn't get old...Johnny Strong is an extremely Sexy Action Star. This movie was very well done and exciting.. Hoping there is going to be a lot more Action movies starring Johnny Strong with his looks and his martial arts training is a win win situation..Under the direction of Willaim Kaufmann it was superbly done. His other movie The HIT LIST starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Cole Hauser was pretty cool too...SINNERS AND SAINTS-the sequel is on my wish list..If you like weapons and martial arts you will like this movie...MY NEW FAVORITE ACTION MOVIE....
