Street Kings is a thriller from 2008 starring Keanu Reeves as a cop who ends up being framed for murder. The film also stars Hugh Laurie and Forest Whitaker as Reeves superiors from internal affairs and the cops on the street respectively. The plot is well formed and the acting by everyone but Reeves is amazing. The problem is that Reeves has no facial expressions at all to convey any emotions. Being that Reeves is the main protagonist it ruined the movie for me I could not at all care about the character cause I could not understand what he was feeling. Everything else in the film is amazing though if they had cast someone else as the main character it would have been awesome. I have to give the film 3/5 stars for this.
