Street Kings

This is a very complicated movie.I was shocked to see Captain America himself in this movie. Still, with Terry Crews, Cedric the Entertainer, and "Adian Shaw", the acting was pretty good by all... EXCEPT TED!!! Keanu was like a robot in this movie, wholly without emotion. I don't think he did a good job selling his revenge or his confusion.The plot was predictable. It reminds me of the series called "The Shield", where you got crooked cops that do whatever it takes to run a city. With this, I knew who the kingpin was by the middle of the movie.The one gem from this movie was Martha Higareda -- beautiful and emotional.

We enjoyed every moment of this movie. The complexities of police work were brought to the forefront in this movie. Putting on a weapon to go to work every single day, underpaid, over-worked and oftentimes despised. An action police drama worth seeing. Glad we bought it.

I really enjoyed this movie.It really kept my attention and had a lot of different twists a turns Which I didn't see coming. I thought Keanu Reeves did I a really good Acting job. I rented the movie and actually watched it twice.

Finally starting my library over. Converting from DVD to streaming so I don't have to worry about packing up movie boxes when I move.

If this isn't the worst cop movie I have ever seen....Keeves is the skinny kid in 7th grade dreaming of being the football team Captain. It ain't gonna happen. Is this a puff piece for him? That would be the only excuse. It has every cliche, every ripped off bit from some other LEO movie, come on...you have to be kidding me. The bile finally came up about 3/4s of the way through. I kept hoping that somehow it would redeem itself. Absolute BS. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Just as I said in the title. It is, Just watch and see. John Wick, Captain America, and the Old Spice Guy? In the same movie? SWEET! Enjoy.

Excellent story. Keanu Reeves at his best as always. First time I've seen Chris Evans out of the Capitan America Costume, he definitely played an awesome role. I loved it. Forrester Whitaker was excellent. Not Stop action!!!

Synopsis: Neo beats a man with a phone book while Captain America watches. Then they harass Cedric the Entertainer for information so Neo can redeem himself. 4/5 Because Neo didn’t even bother to say “Guns lots of Guns”.

This is a great movie (to me) that has Keanu Reeves along with a great ensemble cast that make this police thriller worth watching...The package arrived a few days early than I expected & when i opened it up it was properly sealed with the usual thin plastic covering that has been wrapped around it that you have to tear off to open the case that the DVD movie is inside...To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect with regards to it being New or Pre-owned as I too busy doing the usual ordering for the Festive Season & I completely forgot if I ordered a new copy of this film or a pre-owned one & I was glad once i opened up the cardboard package it's delivered in I & I saw the plastic covering & sealing the product inside & that it was in fact new...At times when one buys some pre-owned films or game's they aren't always in the condition as they were described & hence why I prefer to buy new copies if I can get them on Amazon...Well all have our own opinions of what we like & what I like in a movie others may not but I honestly enjoyed this movie as Keanu isn't playing his usual straight good guy or bad guy as there are grey areas with the character he plays in " Street Kings "Along with the always great Forest Whitaker & a great ensemble cast made this a movie I wanted to own rather than borrow from a friend & its in my Always To Watch Movies , after a certain time has passed since my last viewing...I definitely recommend the order & how it was delivered to me & I'd recommend that those who haven't watched this movie to give it a watch as you might be pleasantly surprised by this movies as its one of those movies that seem to go under the radar at the cinema but has done well on DVD & Blu Ray...Now to pick up my favourite snack of a sub sandwich/a packet of tangy cheese dorito's/ a few chocolate bars & some soft drinks before I sit down to enjoy this movie again........

This isn't a great movie, but it isn't bad...OK... A good cast, and well directed too, but that's notthe important thing about this film...While watching this, it reminded of LA Confidential, andas the credits rolled, there was James Ellroy's name aswriter... There is a saying in Hollywood that says, "youcan't make a good film from a bad script"... and the scriptis the best thing in this movie, the plot points and twistscome as a surprise. If the story is a bit too by-the-numbers,it works... Of course Keanu Reeves, acts as stiff as a surfbroad, but the script moves too fast to notice... Over all,not a bad movie...

In this one the thin line between good cop and bad cop kind of disappears. You don't know wether to agree with what is going on or not. I was torn for the most part of it. But then I think we don't have the same approach to the police force as Americans have. So it's rather difficult to understand and follow.Nevertheless I liked the acting especially since I'm a huge fan of Whitaker and Reeves. Both appear to behave naturally and genuine. As the story unfolds you are absolutly torn between sympathy and anger for what both of them do.I think this is another great Ayer movie. One star I draw for it's length which is always a problem with his movies.

Street Kings is a great movie. It shows how work is done in the police department/Detectives and how corruption and greed can get to anybody. Very hard truths in this movie. Is very well done and with great actors. Very violent and with a few bloody shootings.I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Street Kings deserves more credit. On Blu Ray picture quality looks very nice. Own it on dvd as well and you can easily tell the difference. Great movie just get it.

starring keanu reeves and forest whitaker primarily, this is a tale very much in the style of the tv show "the shield", though perhaps not quite as good. also similar to a film called "dark blue" a few years ago starring kurt russell. keanu reeves plays it in his usual understated method, allowing for the showier actors to steal the stage - notably forest whitaker who is, as usual, absolutely breathtaking. also watch for the cameo by hugh laurie, playing a variation on his "house" persona, apparently.overall i rate this film highly - it's dark, brutal and well-made with great performances throughout.
