Street Kings

Here's something I don't do often, but here's a movie that's just hitting theatre this weekend.

Quote:

Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) is a Los Angeles cop who has spent his life never having had to reach across the abyss from his world to the other. Ludlow's life, however, becomes cheerless, dark and deadly, after the death of his beloved wife. Ludlow is pressed into action when he is framed for the murder of a fellow officer by those close to him. Deeper and more profound themes are interwoven in this story of a man's struggle for meaning in a world that is increasingly controlled by outside forces.

Fuck it, I'm there this weekend. It's about time I see a movie in theatre that's just pure badass. It's been a while, the last movies I saw there were Never Back Down, 21 and Shutter.

I must say, I'd like to see this movie. Just because of the song from the trailer.

"I am the American Dream, the blood of this city,
The dieing machine, the over priced medicine,
The murderous regime, the tough guys front...somethin' behind the scenes"

I'm a sucker for lyrics like that. Although, I am disappointed Keanu Reeves is the star.

So it turns out that my theatre isn't getting it. That's a let down... I was actually pretty excited to see this.

But yeah, well, Keanu is pretty wooden but I hold out faith. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. He has talent, it just doesn't shine through very often.

Gotta love Lupe Fiasco. He's a very underrated rapper. His lyrics are awesome, his delivery... eh, could get better.
