Street Kings (2008) 6/10

Starring : Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, Chris Evans
Director : David Ayer
Running Time : 105 mins

Following the death of his wife, LAPD detective Tom Ludlow (Reeves) has found life to be increasingly difficult, but things just get worse for him when he is accused of brutally killing one of his fellow officers. This implication leads Ludlow to dig deep into the background of some of his closest colleagues and question whether or not they are as loyal to him as he once believed.

I’m sure a lot of people would enjoy this run of the mill crooked-cop drama, but I found it far too formulaic for my liking. Reeves as usual is pretty wooden - I sometimes wish he'd stuck to Bill and Ted style movies instead of trying to get into dramatic roles - and the plot itself is a little too obvious. Still, fans of cop movies will enjoy the basic set out of this film.
