Street Kings

Writer turned director David Ayer (Training Day, Harsh Times) opts for somebody else's script for his second feature but remains thematically in the same territory of police corruption in Los Angeles. Keanu Reeves plays a burned out LAPD detective Tom Ludlow who finally realizes that the corruption in his department is more widespread than he previously thought. After the murder of his former partner, he finds out with the help of a rookie (Chris Evans) that the murder was setup by his colleagues and friends. The fine cast includes Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
