STREET KINGS poster & trailer

Has David Ayer just remade his TRAINING DAY movie (and copied the SMOKIN’ ACES style poster artwork?) and placed Keanu Reeves in the lead role for the newly titled STREET KINGS.

That’s the feeling I get from watching the trailer. Though with the awesome Forest Whitaker and supporting turns from Chris Evans and Hugh Laurie, it can’t all be bad for this picture.

You should all know the plot by now. Keanu plays a veteran LAPD cop who has hit rock bottom after the death of his wife and when he thought things just couldn’t get any worse, he finds himself implicated for a murder he did not commit. When a ‘dirty’ cop becomes the framed, he must go up against the cops that he raised to have the same mentality as him.

Like the plot, like the cast, but again… it looks like TRAINING DAY redux. And I never did really like that movie all that much…

STREET KINGS opens April 11th.
