If you can forgive its stale dialogue, which at times seems so egregiously leaden that it might have been better suited to a Mad magazine parody, 'Street Kings' is a tense, aggressively absurd thriller.

While military man turned director Ayer implicates our culture steeped in violence and the damaging effects of trained killing, whether by police or in war, he's assembled such a deplorable LAPD rogues gallery, it's hard to tell which one is the worst.

Ayer's rapid pacing and solid work by the cast distract us from the script's shortcomings.

I don't think there were really any bad scenes, but I found the overall film emotionally empty.

[In the] surprisingly engrossing 'Street Kings,' we are presented with cops who live up to our worst nightmare of excessive force.

The movie has a million flaws, but if you can look past them and enjoy a fun, gritty, violent, racist and entertaining dirty cop film, then you will have fun with it.

Anyone looking for a good shoot-'em-up film should not leave the theater disappointed, but those seeking something thought-provoking might want to stay away.

Even with the race dynamics not very scrambled, David Ayer's latest film looks a lot like Training Day.
04/30/08
Street Kings feels like Lethal Weapon mashed up with The Shield, only without the former's goofy '80s vibe or the latter's relative authenticity.
