Street Kings (2008)

The life of a jaded policeman who often takes justice into his own hands is turned upside down after he is involved in the death of a colleague in dubious circumstances.

A crime action film that did not receive much praise at the time. With anti-heroes that are more believable than your usual characters in the many run-of-the-mill films of this genre, Street Kings is better done than advertised. Keanu Reeves manages to impress in his portraying of a less scrupulous character than we are used to. Plot holes have been seen many times before, but the film has a fresh and original air despite its shortcomings and offers a healthy portion of entertainment. 

Director:  David Ayer  
With: Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans, Jay Mohr,  Cedric the Entertainer, Terry Crews, Naomie Harris, John Corbett, Amaury Nolasco

Rating: 8/10
