Fun enjoyable, offbeat, and quirky. Starts off with Beals attempted, but interrupted suicide. You then follow Joey Turks (Zane),a sleazy, two bit,criminal through the strangest day in his cheesy,life. All this while wearing horrible and tacky clothes. Add to this a,dead body in the pool, a comic-book-style LA noir cop, and Zane's,Forrest Gump approach to crime, and you get an absolute treat. Beals is,great as the odd, wounded bird of a girlfriend. She has kind of a Wednesday Addams meets Cyndi Lauper thing happening.

It doesn't have a lot of CGI, or big bangs, just some fun dialog and good writing. Fun and entertaining.

Overall: Watch this if you get the chance.

Billy Zane of Titanic and Jennifer Beals of Flashdance co-star in this rather weird film about a couple of marginal people, a professional carjacker and a punk rocker who get themselves involved in a shipment of a new kind of drug where someone is murdered and the police just leave the body in the guy's swimming pool. It must have really started to smell around there.

The detective on this case is Darren McGavin who's been on the job way too long, but wants to get that last big bust and go out in a blaze of glory.

Some interesting characters such as rock singer Jamie LeGros, epicene drug dealer Nicholas Worth, and his muscular boy toy and personal hit man Mark Pellegrino make the film worth a viewing.

I did like the coda that McGavin put on the end of the investigation for this shipment of pills to one of the protagonists who is dying. There's a famous episode from the Honeymooners where Alice and Trixie do something to Ralph and Norton like what is happening to Worth and Pellegrino the entire story.

The power of suggestion.

"Blood and Concrete" is a lame little low budget comedy about a small time hoodlum (Zane) who hooks up with a neurotic babe (Beals) and then learns they have something more in common than mutual admiration...specifically a drug called "Libido". Playing out like something contrived by a bunch of drunken college students, this flick invents wacky characters and then has them pop up as necessary to sustain it as it dogs its way through its meager plot. Although the film does have a few funny moments and a hint of a creative edge, it is a sub-B flick which wears out early on and most will not find it worth the time.
