Featured reviews
Overall the plot is just too confusing and the story seems to roam around finding itself. I still do not understand the end in that it didn't seem to be set up well in the earlier stages of the film. As I said, lot's of potential.. obviously a poorly written script.
The so-called "director" is worse than a 1st yr NYU student at film-making. How do these people get the financing and get to "direct" movies just blows my mind... It's shot with this totally wanking documentary style which looks cheap and I find really distracting. Millennium Films sucks gas.
In the midst of hurricane Katrina, Det. Devereaux (Kilmer) stumbles upon his former partners body in a warehouse and is oddly unphased by it. He gains Det. Johnson (50 Cent) as a new partner. They get intertwined with dirty cops who end up killing an undercover federal agent which gets FBI Agent Brown (Michael Biehn) involved. While Devereaux makes trips to the police therapist (Sharon Stone) as the usual assortment of police corruption & gangster bits play out.
What to take away from this? Quick paychecks for everyone. A Nu Image / Millennium Films dtv quickie. Kilmer & Biehn get to share the screen again. Stone doesn't get to make much of an impact with her character. 'Streets of Blood' features a poor ending, but Kilmer and 50 Cent became friends in real life so there's that.

- TriviaDuring the filming, 50 Cent became good friends with co-star Val Kilmer. The two actors bonded over their love of vintage cars and 50 Cent stunned Kilmer by giving him the keys of a 1965 Chevy Impala which the singer-turned-actor purchased for $100,000.
- GoofsIt's mentioned that someone gets home before the eleven o'clock news. There is no eleven o'clock news in New Orleans which is on CST, so the news is at ten o'clock.

Nina Ferraro: How do you feel about taking another human being's life?
Andy Devereaux: Well, like my daddy always said, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six.
