Product Description

It’s New Orleans, six months after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the streets, destroying everything in her path. The floodwaters have quelled, but the death toll is on the rise, and the torrent of blood rages on. Now for a veteran detective with a viciously brutal past, his new partner with a dark secret, and a department shrink who knows the city’s vices all too well, crime and corruption are about to go to all new levels of depravity, the likes of which The Big Easy has never known . In a town struggling to put the pieces back together, can anyone stop the barrage of dirty cops and the obscenely brutal drug wars that threatens it all?

2.0 out of 5 stars Puns aside, what a disaster this film was, July 24, 2009

By	Steve Kuehl "SLV Video" (Ben Lomond, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Knowing this film centers itself on a police department trying to regain control of the drug trade in the midst of the Katrina aftermath, it was fitting that it can be called a disaster. From the funny accents that disappear, to the horrible camera work, to the 3D style effects of flashbacks, to the stop-style editing (the film freezes prior to each fade to black cut), to that horrendous ending - all made for another frustrating outing for Kilmer.

Kilmer plays a boy scout drug cop fighting the bad guys on the streets and in the FBI. His partner is 50 Cent (sadly enough his best role to date) who cannot seem to decide if he is good or bad. Michael Biehn plays the FBI agent trying to spice things up (failing miserably) and Sharon Stone (scarily unrecognizable) plays the department shrink who violates probably every rule there can be - including having four different accents in the same film. Our plot meanders from Katrina to several years after as our corrupt characters kill and steal their way through their PD work. One memorable moment is when Kilmer and 50 Cent are going to shoot 20 armed guys in an abandoned school, Val gave the exact same speech from Tombstone in the same accent - deja vu.

There are no special features, bad film quality and sound that is intermittently mixed at best. I was hoping for more as this film made the promo posters, and I really tried to give it a solid shot, but after attempting to overlook the laundry list of issues I then got to that last shot - literally - and was appalled they ended the film that way.

Gave it one more star for the Katrina aftermath footage they included in the credits, heartbreaking as always.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fat Val Is a Cajun, August 18, 2009

By	Uncle Chino "Chino" (Mongolia) - See all my reviews

Fat Val gets a payday and stoops to working with bucktoothed non acting Fitty Cent. Sharon Stone still looks good but doesn't have much to do. This movie is really crappy. The story of corruption in New Orleans and the post Katrina atmosphere would be a good backdrop for a story but this is garbage.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Film Couldda Been A Contenda!, August 12, 2009

By	Anna V. Carroll - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

OMG! What has happened to Val Kilmer & Sharon Stone!? This film is one of the worst written I have seen in decades. If the story had been written by someone really familiar with New Orleans and the street crime there, and directed by a well-known director, it could have had legs. The actors are first-rate and do their best with what they were given. There is a murder every minute and a half. It borders on pornography. The women (except Ms. Stone) are all drug addicts, prostitutes, and worse. Hispanics and Blacks don't fare much better. Fitty is a good actor who takes your eyes away from Kilmer, if that's possible, in all his scenes. I would like to see this story re-made with a better script, better director, better editing. And yes, without Val Kilmer and Sharon Stone. I really hope these two wonderfully talented actors find better scripts in the future. They are long overdue for a really good role. Their talent has been totally wasted in the last few years on films that are almost unwatchable. This one was the worst I've seen in a long, long time.
