Street Kings User Reviews

One of the Best Cop movies I've seen in a LONG time! Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, and Chris Evans all did great acting jobs in this movie! If you love a good Cop/Action Film this is the one for you! Turned out to be Extremely Better than I expected it to be! Would go see again at the Theater and will definitely buy on DVD!

Bad cops, kill bad cops. Lots of blood, and that's all. Tiring after a short while......Hugh Laurie as an acid-tongued internal-affairs captain is disappointingly just Dr. House without the limp.

It was one of those movies that I wish never ended. I wanted to see more. Keanu as always did a fabulous, fabulous job with his character . Everyone that was in the movie and was not in the movie did a fantastic job. Action packed and full of drama. I rented the movie, but now I am going to buy . It is a movie that I will never get tired of watching.

After months of mediocre movies, finally here's something worth watching. Street Kings is a classic thriller. Keanu Reeves gives a solid performance as Tom Ludlow, a flawed cop who is one of the LAPD's most formidable gun fighters. Ludlow must untangle a web of corruption in order to clear his name of scandal and discover who murdered his partner. At 43, Reeves finally has enough years on his face to be taken seriously as more than just a pretty boy, and is starting to be reminiscent of the wonderful Chris Cooper.Hugh Laurie is great as an inspector of internal affairs you will love to hate, although by film's end he will have earned your grudging respect. Also impressive is Laurie's very un-Hollywood decision to leave his emerging bald spot un-camouflaged for all to see.Recent Oscar-winner Forrest Whitaker is brilliant as usual - I won't say anything more about his performance because I don't want to give anything away.The film serves up plenty of gratuitous violence, but there is a smart plot (thanks to best-selling crime novelist James Ellroy) to prop it up and the surprise ending packs a punch. I'd forgotten how much fun dirty cop films could be. Street Kings is a welcome reminder.

I read the reviews, and despite them, i went and saw Street Kings. I was pleasantly surprised on many levels. First the casting was perfect, even Reeves, who always plays a guy who doesn't quite have things figured out. His acting is Speed level, which is low - but not so poor that it gets in the way of the movie. All the other roles are spot on, with lots of familiar faces. The plot is completely unpredictable, in a good way. The movie is full of intrigue, action, and keeps the entire audience on their toes. I saw it in a packed theatre and the crowd was fully engaged from start to finish. The so-called pro reviews were not very good, but I can tell you: I haven't seen critic reviews so far off base in a long time. In this era of extremely weak movies THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST-SEE.

Why is it that every police movie has to do with dirty cops, planting evidence, and murder.I have been a police officer in the Los Angeles area for approximately 30 years. Why do these movies have to bash the men and women that patrol our streets.Once again, Hollywood distorted the police departments of Southern California.
