== 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.

As an action film, it's even more wanting."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/bloodredemptionbluray.php|title=Blood of Redemption (Blu-ray)|last=Johnson|first=David|work=DVD Verdict|date=September 29, 2013|accessdate=July 9, 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140709030114/http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/bloodredemptionbluray.php|archivedate=July 9, 2014}}</ref>
