KEANU REEVES (KEY-ON-EWW R-YVES) HASN'T GOTTEN ANY BRIGHTER SINCE THE LAKE HOUSE, THE FILM IN WHICH HE PLAYS A HOME OWNER. HOWEVER, HE HAS LEARNED TO CHOOSE ROLES WHICH ARE BETTER SUITED TO HIS ACTING RANGE. COPS AND STUFFED ANIMALS ARE THE WISEST CHARACTERS FOR MR. REEVES TO TACKLE. IN THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE REEVES PLAYS DETECTIVE TOM LUDLOW, A COP WITH MULTIPLE DUI'S WHO IS AS COMFORTABLE KILLING AS HE IS ORDERING AN OMELET. AFTER HIS PARTNER IS SHOT AN UNNECESSARY NUMBER OF TIMES, LUDLOW'S INVESTIGATION INTO HIS MURDER EXPOSES A RING OF CORRUPT POLICE OFFICERS. FILMED IN NEIGHBORHOODS MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T FLY OVER IN A HELICOPTER, STREET KINGS HAS NO SHORTAGE OF COLOURFUL CHARACTERS. THOUGH KINGS WON'T BE UP FOR A SINGLE AWARD ANY TIME SOON, IT'S STILL A HIGHLY ENTERTAINING 1HR AND 47MINUTE STORY OF PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LAW WHO ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. THE MOVIE JERK RECOMMENDS SEEING IT TONIGHT.
