There have been some great corrupt cop movies over the years ("Cop Land", "The Negotiator", "Training Day") but "Street Kings" is definetely not one of the better ones. Keanu Reeve's character "Tom Ludlow" tries to be a some kind of version of "Vic Mackey" from "The Shield" and fails pretty badly. Where "The Shield" is smarter and has several things going on at the same time but still appearing realistic is something that "Street Kings" was not able to pull off in a feauture film. The twists were minimal, the straight corruption was blatant, and it doesn't appear Keanu Reeve's character struggles too hard with his definition of right and wrong where as "Vic Mackey" definetely was shown trying to battle his demons and at least has a more clear cut idea of his version of right and wrong (even though both characters are very far off the morality scale). For some action and gun fights, "Street Kings" reads like an older action film, for anything more than that "Street Kings" doesn't come close to delivering.

8/10Great
Did this one catch me off guard! I really enjoyed this backstabing action/thriller. Anytime you see a cop drinking and driving and breaking all kinds of ethics it's something to to savor. One of the reasons Street Kings might not have done well in the movies might have been it's subject matter of dirty cops. While Serpico did deal with that topic this film takes it to another level. This underrated film is voilent at times unrealistic but worth your time if want some action that does not hold back one bit. Forest Whitaker contines to amaze and his accent and look turns him into a typical police chief. I hope you rent this one.

I love cop dramas, thrillers and procedurals and I feel that this was a solid entry into the cop genre until the end. I really like Keanu Reeves in this and thought the action was very well done, but the film as a whole suffers from a bad reveal and silly use of Hugh Laurie. Can't recommend it more than as a casual watch for Cop Movie fans or for a lazy day watch.

this movie is like a combination between the tv series "the shield" and the movie "training day". if such a combination sounds like a good movie to you you have to watch "street kings". a great cast (Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie)...

very good
this movie is like a combination between the tv series "the shield" and the movie "training day". if such a combination sounds like a good movie to you you have to watch "street kings". a great cast (Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie) and a good script by the man who wrote "L.A. Confidential" and "Dark Blue" (James Ellroy). if you enjoy rough and suspenseful crime movies this is just the one for you.
