Street Kings

Their City. Their Rules. No Prisoners.


Street Kings
A 'dirty' cop takes no nonsense from criminals, and often kills them before arresting them. He comes under increasing stress after his wife dies, and he comes under investigation after killing four Koreans. When his partner is killed, he decides to investigate, and the trail leads deep into the corrupt corridors of the police department.

Jason Anderson quote iconAs much a dick-swinging contest as a movie, Street Kings is all hopped on testosterone with nowhere to go.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconStreet Kings has the look and feel of an '80s cop thriller. Despite the predictability of the overall story arc, there's suspense and tension to be found between the credit sequences, but the movie is saddled with an ending that is both improbable and borderline insulting.
