BLOOD OUT is a straight-to-video trash thriller starring Luke Goss as a lawman devastated by his brother's murder. In order to avenge his sibling, he decides to go undercover in a criminal gang in order to bring those responsible to justice. This involves him loading up with chav tattoos and indulging in a series of routine, low budget fights in order to work his way to the top. This scuzzy, punky production boasts small roles for the likes of 50 Cent and Val Kilmer, alongside stock gangster turns from Vinnie Jones and Tamer Hassan. It's completely rubbish, badly shot and directed throughout.

I was pretty disappointed by this move as it had great actor potential (Vinnie Jones, Val Kilmer, Tamer Hassan) but unfortunately the good actors in this movie only play minor roles .. well except Tamer Hassan. This move actually was to short for the plot and therefore rushed from sequence to sequence which made me not care about the characters at all. Also the story is extremely standard and predictable but it even tries to be so much more as it really is which made me really not believe a thing. On the good side are the rare scenes of the above mentioned actors. I especially liked the completely over the top gangster boss Val Kilmer. Also the action scenes are well scripted and fun to watch. For a late night movie with a beer or two it is definitely OK. As long as you do not expect high class entertainment the move is enjoyable .. just don't start thinking about the story.

No coherent plot, no fight scenes that are truly worth investing in, some random gladiator-looking underground battle scene, not a single character worth caring about makes this supposed vengeance/thriller movie much worse than the usual. And the usual tropes are already usually super tired to begin with. I'm slowly beginning to associate Luke Goss movies with trash that's not worth watching. Soundtrack is also trash, and what in the world is a bloated Val Kilmer doing here? Is it to add "star power"? When he barely does anything and is bogged down with terrible dialogue like "All Hail Mars, son of Juno". I have no words. This is terrible. Don't watch and I say that as someone who love B-movie action schlock.

Michael (Luke Goss) is a cop. His brother David (Ryan Donowho) is a gang member who wants out to marry his pregnant girlfriend. David is seen talking to his cop brother and is killed as a snitch. Local cops do not want to investigate. Michael goes undercover and becomes a gang member to get revenge. The film has a lot of fighting and action. No twists, other than a neck. Vinnie Jones and a lethargic Val Kilmer are part of the bad guys. 50 Cents makes a lousy cop. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity.

This Was One The Worst Movies I Ever Seen It Really That Bad Absolutely Boring The Plot And Story Was awful

The film is adventurous, some of the scenes are splendidly colourful in a pantomime, burlesque peep show kind of way. The streets look mean, the cops look bad and the baddies look badder, apart from Kilmer who just looks like a camp, fat has-been. Goss plays a cop forced to throw in his badge and infiltrate the underworld to seek revenge for his brother's death. Goss has come along way since his band days, and looks the Jason Streatham'esque mean moody guy who's not to be messed with, but his accent is terrible. At times, English, at times a bit Aussie I think he just manages to get away with it, but it is distracting. His slight frame also has you questioning at times whether really, really he is capable of ploughing into guys twice his size and pummelling them to bits. When he turns sideways he most disappears. That aside, the rest of the cast are great, specifically with regard to Tamer Hassan, who delivers a rock solid performance as the egomaniac Elias. Around him, he is surrounded with a very believable army of thugs and this alone saves the film. I think this was a bit too big for Goss, at this juncture, especially with a non-native accent, but the action, and slow underlying story is believable and keeps you watching.

Contrary to other reviewers I have always liked Luke Goss and he is a solid actor but only in certain roles and the hard man is not one of them. As soon as I see Vinnie Jones in ANY movie I kinda know what I am going to get and as soon as he popped his ugly mug up my heart sank and I was right this movie is a real stinker and no mistake. Every single actor but Goss and Ed Quinn cannot act their way out of a paper bag including Tamer and even Kilmer puts in some god awful performance with a soliloquy that has to be seen to be disbelieved - what was he thinking?From the glory days how low has Val Kilmer fallen to be second billing in this pile of cinematic ordure. Bored me to tears and the end fight sequence has to be seen to be believed, utterly ridiculous; some sort of Mad Max Beyond Thunderboredome it was and no mistake - I just wasted an hour and a half of my life I will never get back and I am mad - Don't you be too!
