Blown Away comes to mind with this sleeper-hit, low-budget masterpiece!!! Expertly Directed with ferociously raw & rapid skill by the excellent William Kaufman (The Brave, Daylight's End, Jar Head 3:The Seige) this guy knows how to create exclusive & exciting shootouts & action & Bad Cop aka: Sinners & Saint's is cut from the same cloth as old school Action Classic's like Lethal Weapon & 48hrs, that old bone-crunching violence & gritty mean gun fights & explosions that we grew up loving with the Action genre. Bad Cop is a mystery too as well as action & even has plenty of depth to it's characters & story.
Johhny Strong (Daylights End) is outstanding here as the ultra-violent no-nonsense tough & rugged New Orleans Cop Riley, he's so convincing & raw that you care for him & immediately think how Cool he is & he's a Vigilante type Cop & i love that, he's old skool shoot first & ask questions later & boy does he shoot!!!! An incredibly raw & powerful performance from Strong & for a low-budget production like this it's almost unbelievable & that's how good he is & isn't just a muscle man super hero, this guy bleeds & rages like a man on a suicide mission. Strong's Riley is on the hunt for a sadistic Killer, a team of sicko Mercenaries that are burning up the hot towns of New Orleans with extreme murders & must be stoppedno matter the cost. We get a whole host of characters as this has a big ensemble cast with an excellent Kevin Phillips (Notorious) who gives the 2nd best performance here as new partner to Riley & the always great & intense Louis Mandylor (The Brave, The Debt Collector) & his real life brother, Costas Mandylor & the veteran actor Tom Berenger (D-Tox, Platoon) & an excellent Sean Patrick Flanery (Deadly Impact) in his best performance I've ever seen of him & there's more!!!! A Cool cast & an extremely gritty Cinematography & brutal blood splattered action scenes definitely puts this Action Cop Thriller right up there with the one's that inspired it.
I'm so happy someone out there has made the type of raw Action Thriller that used to be made back in the 80's & Early 90's!!! Like the Awesome Scott Adkins, Johhny Strong seems ridiculously underrated but he will definitely have fans & a Cult following within the low-budget Action genre.
All performances are great & i mean great, there's an emotional back story & real character driven action & nice chemistry between our two Detective's on the case.
An underrated under the radar Action GEM.
