Ah, gritty cop dramas. I don't think I will ever be able to get enough of you.
These things are very...uncomfortable. I think that's the best way I can put it. It's a subject matter that I know nothing about, therefore when watching these movies, i have a complete suspension of realities.
I bring this up because my copy of Street Kings became available at the library.
Yup. The library. Great place to get movies from. Check it out. For the low, low price of $0 you'll never get anything done again but be thoroughly entertained while doing it.
But I digress.
Street Kings features a tough as nails LAPD detective used to crawling through every underhanded loophole he can manage in the name of getting scum off the streets.
It's really fun to say stuff like that.
This troubled detective, no stranger to tragedy, investigates the violent death of his former estranged partner and gets thrown into the underbelly of the politics of enforcing the law.
I thought this movie was incredibly engaging. Despite the character's abrasiveness, I found myself rooting for them by the "Oh, my God, this can't end well" conclusion.
It's a hard life out there in the world of cop dramas. Watch your back.
Sorry I thought I had be commenting every week but it appears some did not go through.
ReplyDeleteOkay in the second paragraph your I needs capitalized. I laughed when you talked about renting movies from the library and they are free, good humor.
