Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

hannahhill93 After reading through the reviews I was in 2 minds about whether to even bother with this film. However, although I wasn't blown away by this film I wasn't completely bored either. Luke Goss didn't do an awful job at playing a bereaved brother who wanted revenge and his fight scenes were pretty good despite the fact he wasn't particularly muscular. Vinnie Jones is as you would expect, a foul mouthed heartless crook which fitted nicely with the storyline. I was very surprised to see AnnaLynne McCord and again she played her part fairly well. Although 50 Cent seemed to get a lot of trailer screen time you only see him twice in this film.There is nothing new about this film but all in all it isn't an awful action movie.

steph steph It's your typical fighting film , a sibling revenging the death of their murdered/dead relative. This one is no different. That did not bother me though , One cop brother , and his brother is in a gang , the brother in the gang wants to leave but alas does not end well. Roll on big cop brother going on a rampage. Although to me it wasn't a rampage , it was more of him playing dangerously by trying to figure out who the top dogs are , which is a different twist to other movies in this genre. It was a good watch , although the end made me shake my head. It left a few unanswered questions. Worth a watchALTHOUGH .. there are a few things that make the movie a bit unbelievable such as TATTOO ARTIST HAPPILY TATTOOS HIM WITH GANG SYMBOLS (GANG SYMBOLS WHICH JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE A MAJOR GANG) - BIG BROTHER MANAGES TOO JOIN THE GANG BY FLASHING HIS TATTOOS CLAIMING TO BE FROM ANOTHER STATE - NO CHECKS ARE DONE ON HIM WHAT-SO-EVER THEY JUST WELCOME HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE GANG - EVERY GANG MEMBER WELCOMES HIM WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND THINKS HE'S THE BEES KNEES WITHIN A DAY OF HIM BEING THEIR - HE MANAGES TO BECOME SO HIGH UP IN THE GROUP WITHIN A WEEK

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning When cop Michael Savion's (Luke Goss) small time hood brother David (Ryan Donowho) is killed by mob boss Elias (Tamer Hassan) for suspected betrayal, he takes it on himself to dispense justice after ineffectual assurances by Detective Hardwick (50 Cent.) After making a name for himself around town, taking down some hard nut local gang bangers, he finds himself invited into Elias's inner circle and asked to work for him. Elias sets his sights on turning Savion into his fighting champ in an up-coming underground fight to determine which criminal empire rules, and where Savion will strike the spring in his tail.Action is one of my favourite genres, easily one of the most entertaining and releasing of the movie art forms. But, defend it though I might, even I couldn't argue with the point that it certainly isn't a genre known for needing your brain or particularly your imagination to much extent. It's unique in the sense that any half wit writer can think up the most lazy, formulaic idea and, as long as it delivers on the 'action' quotient and gives the audience what they've come to see, it can get away with this. For a lot of action films this does work but, while Blood Out is not quite a disaster, the laziness of the story and the join the dots script ends up making it more of a chore to sit through than a simple piece of violent, brainless fun.Debut director Jason Hewitt doesn't seem to have any history of directing music videos, but the frenetic style he uses to shoot the film and tell the story leaves you thinking this might have been a fair assumption to make. The plot is not only simplistic but wavey and slightly incoherent, and coming in at just under an hour and a half, you've still been clock watching to see when it might be over simply on account of how bored you've ended up getting with it. None of the cast can give especially great performances, because all the roles are so generic and one dimensional, from Goss as the 'man out to avenge loved one' good guy to Hassan's cardboard villain. A host of supporting stars, including 50 Cent, Val Kilmer and Vinnie Jones (an interesting appearance, given his and Hassan's reported fisticuffs bust up in which he came off the loser) appear in what end up feeling like minor roles.I guess if you want a simple violent, undemanding action film, Blood Out might do. But this story has been done so many times before and so much better, you might be wiser to search around. Try under Chuck Norris. **
