'street kings' w/keanu reeves!!~

hugh laurie is playing an american!!! this is unprecedented!!!!

from the guy who brought you 'training day'

All I need to know.

for good or for ill?

You've obviously never seen Ned's shrine to Ethan Hawke.

THE GAME is in it too. And James Ellroy's one of 3 names on the screenplay. At a minimum there'll be Keanu's and Evans' guns to look at (also, their weaponry).

still vv excited!~~

This is not quite as terrible as the reviews indicate -- it's moral schema is laughably fucked up -- but Keanu has a genuine touch of dissipation/sadness about him. When he's not whapping The Game in the head with a phone book.

"it's moral schema is laughably fucked up"

Film pedants should work better @ being grammar pedants. :D

nooo first im gonna ask him a few questions... then im gonna kill him! :O

into it

haha no come on its got keanu and common in it - got to be the worst ever

the combined corniness of just those two pics is too much to take

Common is in one 3-min scene. I saw it with a vocal Times Square audience who went "Whoaa, HOUSE!" when Hugh Laurie showed up.

If Keanu wasn't in this I really would've felt like burning the theater down.

DR: 9:26 AM

ie, Keanu seems to be a better actor than Forest Whitaker these days

oh ow

I only want to see this because the commercial uses Lupe Fiasco as the background music for the first half.

i have a complex yet steadfast love for keanu

Thank you. Women seem to realize he is (or perhaps was) a great movie star.

ugh that Lupe song in the trailer

I AM THE AMERICAN DREAM BLAH BLAH MACHINE BLAH BLAH REGIME

lol @ Game finding possibly the only role he'll get for the rest of his 'acting' career where the massive LA tattoo on his face plausibly suits the character

Uh... wrong Lupe song (unless you're seeing a different trailer); the one I saw used "Little Weapon".

how is Keanu Reeves playing a 'veteran' already?

yeah, i don't have his 2nd album so i wasn't really sure what lupe song it was and was just randomly googling lyrics trying to figure out what it was, my bad

xp: guy is 43 and lookin' it. (also, putting him next to Chris Evans in a tight t-shirt)

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.

man, I hate reaching all the way across the abyss and finding nothing but a deadly life.

ok ok the commercial made it seem like common was totly keanus sidekick

this might have just moved up to status: downloadable

43? Crikey.

I don't think i've thought about him or seen him in anything since the first Matrix when he wuz still looking pretty young. hard to imagine him as anything other than a "woah duuuuude" though.

think outside the stoner box.

god i hate that song

NOT QUICK ENOUGH!@&*!(@(*!

^ lol this

Armond OTM! (well, except for "uncanny")

Keanu is not nearly as laughable impersonating Dirty Harry as you’d imagine

Reeves’ decision to portray Ludlow’s sincerity in the style of Eastwood’s mythic urban-savior cleverly counteracts Ayers and Ellroy’s claptrap quotient. They write and direct as if none of this has been seen before, but Reeves invokes pop memory (of Eastwood’s crazy cool) which is funnier than Day-Lewis’ impersonation of John Huston.

yeah this is a pretty solid flick, better than training day imo

kind of a weird ending

this was horrible but i relished it anyway

i know i will get totally zinged for this, but i <3 <3 <3 keanu reeves.

dope movie

way better than harsh times and SWAT, about equal with Dark Blue, not as good as training day

there's my david ayer L.A. movie continuum
