Street Kings is an action packed typical crooked cop thriller. Keanu Reeves plays Detective Thomas Ludlow, a member of the Vice Special headed up by Forrest Whitaker. Things start taking a turn for the worse when Detective Ludlow's X Partner is killed for coming clean with IA Captain James Biggs, (played by Hugh Laurie, Fox's "House").
This movie lacks the surprise of a good who dunnit. The action scenes are very gruesome and typical in these types of movies. Keanu Reeves acts in his typical genre role, as he has in every movie he has been in. I thought the movie would have a high point with actor Hugh Laurie, just to find out that he plays "House" only as a cop.
In the end, the movie leaves you mildly entertained and yet not fully satisfied. I only wish that the writters would have come up with something more origional then your typical, average at best, bad cop movie.
