Street Kings
is about a rule-breaking LAPD vice squad cop who finds life difficult
to navigate after the sudden and troubling nature of his wife's
death. Plus, evidence implicates him in the execution of his
ex-partner.
He finds that he is forced to go up against
the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, leading
him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.
Pay attention: this is not a chick flick
nor a date movie.
Put on your raincoat, hard hat, and safety
glasses. |
Sporting a high body count, and some of
the most laughable dialogue in years, Street Kings manages
to keep the ultra-violence at the same level as its cliche-ridden
script.
Come on -- Keanu Reeves as a dirty cop?
Need I say more? |
Fourteen years ago, actor Keanu Reeves
played a Los Angeles good cop in the motion picture Speed.
Now he's back in uniform in the latest
LA movie, Street Kings, playing a bad police officer who's
fighting the cops and everybody else to prove that he didn't
kill a fellow officer.
The things I didn't like about this film
were: the crude, hammy dialogue, the ultra-violence, and the
overkill. |
