New Orleans has been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, opening the floodgates for a sea of criminals seeking to assert their control over the city's seedy underworld. But when the stakes are this high, there's sure to be corruption within the ranks of the local police force, too. When a veteran detective with a violent history (Val Kilmer) is assigned a new partner with a dark secret (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson), the perceptive police psychiatrist (Sharon Stone) suspects that the officers may have become morally compromised by the chaos that threatens to consume the city that's already synonymous with vice and decadence. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
All in all, a devil of a cocktail for an evening's bullet ridden entertainment
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
No hidden treasures here; this movie is pretty awful.
Kam Williams, NewsBlaze
50 Cent and Val Kilmer deserve kudos galore for cultivating a convincing chemistry in this well-concealed whodunit which takes you on a relentlessly-raw, rollercoaster ride certain to satiate the bloodlust of fans of the high body-count genre.

Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com
A kindergarten cop thriller encrusted with insufferable New Orleans location accents, Blood proves that it wasn't the script that convinced Kilmer to accept this role, but likely the Creole catering.
Jason McKiernan, Filmcritic.com
a direct-to-video Festival of the Absurd so over-the-top, so incompetently made, so lacking in decent taste and common sense that the only thing missing to keep it from late-night Skinemax is a couple of sleazy softcore sex scenes

Utter crap except for a few shocker moments set in gang/whore hangouts.

Captured me and had me sit until it was OVER! Guessing consistently as of who was the SNITCH! I loved this! Bet you will never guess..who it is until the very end of this intense police vs. crime saga in Louisiana. Val Kilmer is in full form...Sharon Stone is back...even 50Cent had a good part in this! I was surely surprised! Try it!

A horrible joke of a movie. The acting was atrocious as were the southern accents, the music, and the cinematography. Do not see this.

It was a decent movie. 50 Cent wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be. Some of the acting was pretty bad, but it was ok otherwise.
Jonny C

OK movie. Streets of Blood's plot never really goes anywhere, or does anything unexpected. It always seemed like a Michael Mann rip off, and never really took advantage of it's decent story. But the acting pedigree of Kilmer and Stone made it always watchable, with a few… More
OK movie. Streets of Blood's plot never really goes anywhere, or does anything unexpected. It always seemed like a Michael Mann rip off, and never really took advantage of it's decent story. But the acting pedigree of Kilmer and Stone made it always watchable, with a few nice gun fights thrown in.
