LAPD detective Tom Ludlow is a ruthlessly efficient, unorthodox undercover cop. Captain Jack Wander always covers for Tom, as do even his somewhat jealous colleagues. After technically excessive violence against a vicious Korean gang during the liberation of a kidnapped kid sex slave, Tom becomes the target of IA's hotshot, captain James Biggs, who feels passed over after Wander's promotion to chief. Tom's corrupt, disloyal ex-patrol partner Terrence Washington sides with IA but is killed during a shop robbery in Tom's presence.
An undercover cop, disillusioned by the recent murder of his wife, is implicated in the murder of an officer and must struggle to clear himself.
If you like the genre, this product won't disappoint you.

The plot is convoluted enough for me to try to give you an idea. It bears some resemblance to Ellroy's "LA Confidential" of course, but SK is more messy.

I laughed on how "American values" this film is. They show Detective Tom drinking so often one has to think "he's an alcoholic". His chief, who knows he kills lawlessly, criticizes him for this "vice". But we saw Ludlow rescuing those underage hostages. Then "he's good". How come, is he bad or good? Can he be both? And they pay script writers for this "moral dilemma" ... :).

I would have liked Naomie Harris to play the "female beauty". Martha Hilgareda is OK anyway.

I expected some great lines like in Training day. I know this by heart: "Jake Hoyt: Its not so fun when the rabbit has a gun. Or Alonzo Harris: It's not what you know, it's what you can prove". Or the best: "Alonzo: You gotta see the streets. You gotta feel it. You gotta smell it, you gotta taste the streets. How's your Espanol?"

Slang is all around anyway. Hard to twig if English is not your mother language, but anyway, you get the meaning . Overall, I liked this movie. It may not last in your memory more than weed, but ...

PS: Real time cop Daryl Gates' presence steals the show. If you disagree with my title summary I defy you to list better movies in this genre from the past decade. If you're looking for watchable action movies these days you have to look pretty hard. I could count on one hand how many decent cop thrillers I've seen lately. Street Kings, even with its flaws, is a solid piece of crime drama with some iconic action scenes.

Screenplay by James Elroy. I didn't know this before watching the movie but the quality is evident at every step along the way in the drama. The action scenes are intense and there is a lot of tension created to make those scenes resound even more deeply.

I think this may be the only movie where I actually liked Keanu Reeves. I've tolerated him before but he's good in this role. Forest Whitaker is another matter. Ever since his over-the-top (read: bad) performance in The Shield series it's obvious that he's either a really bad actor or a one trick pony.

The opening few scenes are enough to validate your admission ticket. There are a few other good scenes and a few bad ones but I stand behind my initial statement. I suppose that my praise for this film says a lot more about the sad state of movies these days than it does for the quality of Street Kings. "Kings" covers familiar territory but does so with ruthless efficiency, intense performances and a densely packed plot designed to highlight the moral issues that most concern Ayer and Ellroy.
Street Kings is based on a screenplay by screenwriters James Ellroy, Kurt Wimmer, and Jamie Moss. It is a Japanese phrase, normally used to address someone midday. The direct translation is "how is this day?" For evening, you would say "Kon Ban Wa". The character Biggs is captain of the Internal Affairs LAPD division. Ultimately his job is to uncover dangerous truths and do damage control through legal means. He is also passed up for promotion of Commander which went to the character of Forrest Whitaker.
