Street Kings

Director: David Ayer

Starring: Forest Whitaker, Keanu Reeves, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans

Release: 2008-04-08

An older, heavier Keanu Reeves returns to the screen as a good cop struggling to maintain his conscience and sanity on the streets of LA.When his former police partner (Terry Crews) is murdered, he immediately smells a rat and suspects the bad cops in the LA Police Department to be behind the death. He teams up with a detective (hot Chris Evans from Fantastic Four) to track down the killers...

Street Kings is directed by David Ayers and boasts the gritty camerawork, fast-paced action sequences and impressive stunt-work of typical Hollywood cop pictures. But the operative word in that sentence is "typical", as Street Kings by no means reinvents or reenergizes the genre.

For action junkies only
