Street Kings (2008)
6/10
dr. House is king in the hospital, not in the street

In this movie you find lots of killing, blood, dirty language, tough guys etc. Almost everything you look from a good action film. But I must admit, it fell short. The story about a veteran cop who doesn't hesitate to put the bullet into the gangster's body and his corrupted detectives and chiefs, is quite interesting to follow. You can still foresense the ending though. Hey, but if you still wanna see a good cop movie, where a tough guy owns everybody, then go ahead. You get what you expect.

There are lots of interesting actors here. Rappers and other subject fields representatives. Keanu Reeves plays a tough veteran cop I was talking about earlier. He is pretty good. He has similar characters before and these roles suit him well. The greatest cameo is from Common, who leaves the impression that he actually is and hard-ass gangster is real life too. Forest Whitaker is a police chief. dr. House, I mean Hugh Laurie, is not. It was weird to see such a charismatic British actor who'll always be remembered as dr. House, playing a statement-making police chief in a Hollywood movie. Just look how he is in hospital scene and in anywhere else. He feels like at home.
