Skip it. Street Kings is a by-the-numbers cop thriller that drowns in clichés—the troubled detective, the conspiracy within the department, the moral ambiguity—without breaking new ground. Unless you're specifically hunting for mid-2000s David Ayer grit with Keanu Reeves going through the motions, there are better crime dramas demanding your time tonight.

Plot

Tom Ludlow is a disillusioned L.A. Police Officer, rarely playing by the rules and haunted by the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.
