      What is justice?

      According to the interview of an actor in the play, it is a very dark film.
      The results of the film can basically be guessed, because there are too many similar plots now! If there was such a film in the early 1990s, it would have been a big hit, but now it's the 21st century.
      Renu Reeves wants to transform through this drama, but I personally think that the psychological drama is still close, and there is still a gap compared to Tony Leung. As for other well-known actors, I am not...

      Great cast, bad movie

      First of all, the strong cast deserves recognition.

      Keanu Reeves is really getting old. I haven't seen his work for many years, and I was full of expectations for this "King of the Street", which had fierce publicity in the early stage.

      After watching it, I felt very bad. Our protagonist, the lone ranger police detective played by Keanu, did not play any role as a pioneer of justice in the movie, but was just a hidden night killer who was played between the palms of his...

      What happened to Keanu? ? ? ? ?

      I haven't watched the DVD I bought a long time ago, but I watched it when I had time today. I watched it in 20 minutes of more than an hour of film, and I focused on the performance of the black people when Keanu and his black boss confronted him at the end. This movie is rubbish, except for the music. . At the beginning of the film, when Keanu went to meet two Koreans, when I saw the costume, I put it aside for a while and continued watching. . . . Seeing that Keanu took out a small bottle of...

      Keno Reeves you can be better

      The overall tone of the film is dark and turbulent. Almost every line has fu*k. Americans really believe in this word too deeply. They firmly believe that this word is cool and can properly express anger. Every movie does not use this word. "Cinema World" said that most American movies are vulgar and brainless, but the values ​​it expresses are extraordinary in this era. Jackie Chan said that Hollywood can't accept the one-step, slow-moving style of Chinese kung fu movies. What they want is the...

      When I saw Uncle Hao appearing, I basically knew what happened next. . . The script is terrible, the director is mediocre. . . Too much logic doesn't make sense. The scene wasn't hot enough either. All in all, it was aimed at Lao Ji, Uncle Hao and Team America. ....

    Movie plot

    The story revolves around the experienced Los Angeles policeman Tom Ludlow ( Keanu Reeves ) . He is the person in the police station who knows best how to fight criminals, and his "fire first, talk later." His fierce style is the main reason that makes criminals frightened, but at the same time, his approach has also caused the police, who should have been shown as "people's public servants," to be criticized by the public.
      Even so,...

    Evaluation action

    David Ayer, the director of "Street Kings", is a screenwriter, so the script is very powerful. From the perspective of the production, rhythm and performance of the actors, it seems that it is just good-looking, and there is no place that makes people amazing. But at the end of the story, due to the director's screenwriting skills, the theme suddenly became more profound. The story puts forward a point worth thinking about, that is, a...

    Movie quotes

    • Detective Paul Diskant: Shouldn't we roll with back-up?

      Tom Ludlow: Fuck back-up.

    • Captain James Biggs: Back on the night watch, Tom? You two can be seen all over town. Tom, you really think I was going to nothing about you?

      Tom Ludlow: If you're going to do something, do it now. I know you want my scalp nailed to your wall, but then who's going to go in where the law won't? You Captain? You? You gonna clean up the needles and baby parts? No. You need me, and my company of men. You hate me, but you need me.

      Captain James Biggs: Ludlow, maybe you're right. Maybe we do need you. But goddamn if you don't need me, son.

      [Ludlow starts to walk away]

      Captain James Biggs: Hey, Detective. Did you ever ask yourself if Washington's dead because he was dirty, or because he came clean?

    • Detective Paul Diskant: So we're just gonna go in there and kill them?

      Tom Ludlow: No, I'm going to ask them some questions. Then we're going to kill them.
