Street Kings
Directed by David Ayer
Tom Ludlow is a disillusioned L.A. Police Officer, rarely playing by the rules and haunted by the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.

27 of 27 · most liked firstI was living in South Korea when Keanu Reeves, in his post-Matrix pre-John Wick career lull, put out a movie called Street Kings that was very unflattering/somewhat racist toward Koreans. He had to do an apology tour through Seoul to recover from that one, but it was touch-and-go for a while.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not a movie, but it's my other favorite performance of his and cinematic enough to be listed. A Scanner Darkly or Street Kings, would be my other picks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Coming soon: a 170 episode podcast where @chocnessmonsta.bsky.social and I talk about the excellent portrayal of cops as just another violent gang but with state backing, in the Los Angeles movies of David Ayer. (We will talk a lot about Street Kings, a movie that has two fans, the both of us)

neutral · AI labelView post →‘Street Kings’ (2008), PSP UMD, £1.50. A good cast in general, directed by David Ayer, a reasonable way to pass some time, definitely more of a B movie, though, as they trudge through the cliches. #physicalmedia #pspumd #sonypsp #keanureeves #jamesellroy

positive · AI labelView post →As is becoming a trend this year, following that high-minded and excellent piece of art with what is very likely little more than some schlock from the conveyor belt via Street Kings (if I have assumed wrongly I'll quote-tweet later to recant). letterboxd.com/film/street-...
negative · AI labelView post →The biggest surprise for me was that Kurt Russell took the part. I didn't think he had it in him. Antihero? Sure. Snake Plissken all day. But racist villainy? I didn't see that coming. (Have you seen STREET KINGS? Another Ellroy adaptation, almost the same movie in fact, but with Keanu Reeves.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Street Kings (2008) – Review When you combine the corruption-obsessed mind of James Ellroy with the bleak outlook of David Ayer, you're certain to get a fair amount of urban chaos. After all, Ellory's track record of penning brutal tomes include all-time greats like L.A. Confidential, American Tabloid and White Jazz, and Ayer was still white hot after writing Training Day. This means that both have delivered works obsessed with morally compromised anti-heroes and near apocalyptic levels of…

positive · AI labelView post →Common did that in Street Kings tho. Best crime movie you probably haven't seen.
positive · AI labelView post →Remember the movie Street Kings? All best actors, cool idea and acting, scenes etc, but overall the move was 3+ out of 5. I rewatch yesterday, and can confirm. The only think I love there is where he shows of the bag of heroin from Afghanistan, "global-war-on-terror, pure Afghan" — showing...

neutral · AI labelView post →Street Kings is such a good movie and it kind of gives Terry Crews an outlet of the behind the scenes issues he was facing with the industry. Also how fuckin crooked cops are and how they should be shot instead of given a trial since they have so much power & money the higher the food chain it goes
positive · AI labelView post →I love a movie like Street Kings or whatever but this was so straightforward but also bad
