Premise

Quinn (Billy Zane) is the son of a famous and powerful mobster. In the course of one night, he loses everything. Betrayed by someone from his inner circle, Quinn is set up and arrested. His father (the patriarch of the criminal empire) is killed, and his brother suspects he is behind it all. When he is released from jail, he tries to escape the demons from his past, but that becomes an impossible task. Campbell (Vinnie Jones) is the ruthless new leader of "The Company", and he will not let Quinn live in peace. So instead of escaping them, Quinn begins to fight back. He joins forces with his former henchman and friend, The Swede (Dolph Lundgren), and tries to regain his powerful position within the mafioso by fighting his enemies head on.

Reception

Critical response

Nav Qateel of Influx Magazine gave the film a C+ rating and called it a "guilty pleasure". [3] Ian Jane of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote that the film fails to live up to its potential as a fun B film. [1] David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote, "While Blood of Redemption isn't embarrassingly terrible, it leaves much to be desired as a crime thriller, burdened by clunky storytelling, indifferent acting, and unsatisfactory plot twists. As an action film, it's even more wanting." [5]
