Preview: Street Kings (2008)

   

Poster: C-

Review:

A cluttered, colorless mess. With so many images crammed into one space, it's hard to get a true sense of the film's breadth, but that could be all the film has to offer as well.

Trailer: C-

Review:

The typical police thriller genre conceits are all on display in this trailer. It's chaotic, lumbering and ultimately unrewarding. I don't expect the actual film will improve much on that.

Oscar Prospects:

As alluded to in the trailer, the film is from the makers of Training Day which earned both Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke Oscar nominations, going so far as to even get Washington the Oscar. I'm doubtful that Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker will similarly benefit.

Release Date:

April 11, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
