However, given that Crank actually had a budget to make it look decent (I unashamedly admit that I love the first Crank film, even if I hated the second), Blood Out seems to have spent its entire budget on getting the big(ish) names in, and ends up looking like the rest of the cast and crew were paid in cups of tea and half smoked cigarettes. It has the same sort of look: shaky handheld camera, oversaturated colours, and fast edits. I wouldn’t ever want to watch this again, but if I did, I would certainly want to turn on the subtitles.īlood Out definitely couldn’t have existed in a pre- Crank world. Half of the extras seem to have never acted before (there’s a particularly funny early scene with another policeman), and half of the cast mumble so much that I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I actually ended up respecting Luke Goss a little for playing the role completely straight. A lot of it sounds like it was written by an eight-year-old with crayons.
#BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT 2 CAST SKIN#
I guess real badasses have super skin healing powers. The work of the world’s fastest-working tattoo artists, who complete two sleeve designs and several other chest pieces in what seems like a couple of hours, the tattoos magically heal before he’s even left the shop. In order to look like a gangster, all he does is start smoking and gets some tattoos. Michael’s descent into vigilantism is hilarious. Believe me, you’ll hear the phrase “blood in, blood out” a few times in this film.) David’s murder causes Michael to go vigilante. (“Blood in” is a reference to a prospective gang member murdering someone to join a gang, and the only way out is to “blood out”, which is to be killed.
The film follows Michael (Luke Goss, most recently seen in Death Race 2), a small town police officer whose gang member brother David is murdered by his own people when he wants to quit. Unless you like your straight-to-DVD action really hammy, then it’s not a film that can be easily recommended.
Watching Blood Out was a purely selfless act on my behalf.
