Val Kilmer plays a cop who in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, discovers his partner dead. It transpires that he may have been murdered. Hooking up with a new partner (Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, who has turned into a solid actor) he begins a decent into to a criminal underworld with ties to the New Orleans police. Good, little action film is the sort of thing to fill a slow weekend afternoon. The action is good, the performances serviceable and the plot interesting enough to hold your interest. Certainly the opening sequences that take place in the flooded city grabbed me enough that I wanted to see where the rest of the film went. Is it something you'd want to buy on DVD or pay for a rental? probably not, but as something to catch on cable (where I'm guessing it will find a home on SPIKE of FX) its worth your time, if not a bowl of popcorn.
score 6/10
