DVD Review "STREET KINGS" Score B- 80%

Keanu Reeves is once again trying to step out of his nitch role of the straight up good guy hero and in this plays a bad ass drunken flawed killer rogue cop. With a few twists and turns most of which we can see coming ahead and figure out based on the minimal plotline this isn't a bad cop movie. Although this is no LA CONFIDENTIAL its a modern day version of the corrupt LAPD and what goes on. Of course a lot of this is embellished for movie going jaded audiences. There are some great shoot outs and some good tense moments. In the end there is nothing that surprises you too much. Worth a view if you like cop films.
