Images from old school action thriller Sinners and Saints

Remember those hardcore, old school, action movies, when it was all about blowing shit up on camera, without CGI? When fights actually looked real? When actual stuntmen did actual stunts? Well apparently Anchor Bay remembers those days fondly with the January 10, 2012 Blu-ray and DVD release of old school action thriller Sinners and Saints.

Directed by William Kaufman (The Hit List, One In the Chamber), Sinners and Saints stars Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, The Fast and the Furious), Kevin Phillips (Notorious, Pride), Costas Mandylor (Saw 3D: The Final Chapter – VII), Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints & Boondock Saints II, Saw3D: The Final Chapter), legendary UFC Champion Bas Rutten (Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Here Comes the Boom), Clifford ‘Method Man’ Smith (How High, The Fast and the Furious, Gone In Sixty Seconds, 8 Mile, The Sitter), Kim Coates (Black Hawk Down, Sons of Anarchy), Louis Mandylor (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Jolene Blalock (Star Trek: Enterprise), and Oscar nominee Tom Berenger (Inception, Training Day, Platoon).

Location: New Orleans, post-Katrina. As the leader of an elite street crimes task force squad, New Orleans Detective Sean Reilly (Johnny Strong) is trying to cope with the death of his young son and the abandonment of his wife. But when a routine warrant serve results in an ambush and the vicious murder of his partner, this may be the last straw that finally sends Reilly over the edge.

Re-assigned by his mentor Captain Trahan (Tom Berenger), Sean and Det. Will Ganz (Kevin Phillips) investigate a baffling gangland homicide. As the clues stack up on the case, Sean and Will realize that Colin (Sean Patrick Flanery), one of Sean’s childhood friends, and a security contractor just back from the Middle East, seems to be at the center of their horrible case. The two quickly realize there is something far more sinister going on than either could have ever imagined.
