Ok, first of all I have to say this was a great movie! This movie takes you on an awesome ride full of twists and turns. In the beginning of the movie, Moran's character (a young doomed theif) arrives at his father's(played by Hurt)home after being shot, and with an offer he knows his father will not refuse. Moran's character's reason for concocting this plan, is to save his friend from death. During the entire movie your trying to figure out which story that moran's character told is true. Hurt and moran's characters seem to be caught in their own tangle of hate and distrust, that only seems to untangle when each is facing death. Close to the end of the movie I was left wandering if anyone would survive. For those who have not yet seen the movie I won't say who lives or dies, just that the ending is totally twisted. I recomend this movie to anyone who likes movies full of shoot-outs, lots of twists, double-crosses, and that don't mind movies that are somewhat dark.

I bought this DVD because of the very sexy Carrie-Anne Moss. I figured with her at least the movie wouldn't be a flop. I was disappointed. Carrie-Anne was in a limited number of scenes and had limited dialog. Her character was so bland and unnecessary that she wasn't even allowed to show off any of her acting tallents. The movie was purposely filmed very dark, mostly outside at night but even inside the buildings there was limited lighting. It was difficult to make out the characters because half of their face was usually in the shadows. The plot is ever changing and you can't tell what is the truth and what isn't, and it really doesn't matter. No character draws you into their plight, which leaves you wondering if you even care what happens next. The best part of the movie was the brief appearance of Eugene Robert Glasier (who played Operations on La Femme Nikita) as mobster boss Mr. Ryan. If you are a hard core fan of Carre-Ann Moss or Eugene Robert Glasier you will enjoy this movie, otherwise I suggest you not waste 90 minutes of your life on this movie.

I work in a video store and I recommend this movie to any customer that comes in that likes action, mystery or a good 2 hours of entertainment. Of coarse none of them have ever heard of it and always hesitate to go with my recomendation for that reason but out of the hundreds that have I've never had one say they didn't like it infact most love it too. If you like movies like Memento, The Usuall suspects, and Fight Club you will love this film. It has a great cast with amazing preformances from John Hurt (Alien), Nick Moran (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Carrie-Ann Moss and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix and Memento) and a serious preformance for once from Shawn Wayans (Scary Movie).This movie is very original and will have you zoned in from begining to end. Great action, great plot, great acting, a must see.

New Blood was a very good movie and deffinetly didn't get enough credit. If your looking for a good exiting movie to get, id deffinetly go with this. The acting was very good, and the standout of the cast was deffinetly Carrie Anne Moss, who was funny, mysterious, and of course beautiflu all at the same time.
If you want to see a good underated movie, you have to see the New Blood!

I caught this on Cinemax and thought it was another Guy Ritchie sequel to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". I was surprised that it wasn't, but no matter. It's good fun, especially not knowing what's really happening until the very end. Its plot may be implausible -- and having a kid smart enough to pull off something like this, but still only a punk car thief -- but you'll believe every twist and turn.

This film has to be one of the best i have seen this year. Like "Lock stock and two smoking barrels" and "Reservoir dogs", its bad, bold and nasty! but good nasty! buy it or you'll be missing out!

I gotta question. There are scenes where they wore black masks, does anyone know what the masks are called or where I can purchase one???

This was awesome movie that kept me at the edge of my seat. I gotta question. THere was a scene where they wore these black masks....Does anyone know what those masks are called or where I can purchase one???

Somethin like "Lock,Stock & Two Smoking Bits" ! With the star of "Matrix" !
