This movie was so bad that I already forgot about it and had to check my Blockbuster online rental history to jog my memory. I thought, "Hey, a movie with Val Kilmer, 50 Cent, and Sharon Stone about New Orleans cops in the aftermath of Katrina, that might be pretty good." But about 10 minutes into the movie, when I was wondering why I was about to have an anxiety attack because level of acting in the movie so bad, I realized the many mistakes I had made when renting this movie in the first place.
1. Val Kilmer hasn't made a good movie in years, save Deja Vu and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but those movies were not good because of him.
2. 50 Cent has not made a good movie in, well, never.
3. I think the only reason I ever liked Sharon Stone was because she's gorgeous got nude in a lot of movies during the years when that was really all I cared about when watching a movie. Although, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Sliver, and Casino were all pretty dang good flicks.
AND 4. Usually when a film with such big names goes straight to DVD, some one else thinks the movie sucks.
I continued to watch this movie for another 15 minutes hoping that, terrible acting by all actors, stars and supporters (See Val Kilmer with a god-awful some sort of southern accent; see also 50 Cent trying to play an anxious rookie detective), there would be a cool story line or at least some awesome violence. Well, there was violence, but it was not even remotely entertaining and the story line is "Cop's partner gets killed, cop gets new partner, cop tries to find old partner's killer, crooked cops abound, cop shrink psycho analyzes cop and new partner, movie sucks." I couldn't tell you what happens after the first 30 minutes because I couldn't stand to watch anymore. And for those of you that know me, I at least try to finish every movie I watch. The end.

Footnote: Notice the poster. This movie is so bad they couldn't even get a poster to show what the characters actually looked like in the movie. I'm just saying.
