Gajah Watch: Street Kings (Out in cinemas)

Well, this movie received a two star rating in the newspapers, so I was actually looking to flame this movie online. However, as usual, I find out that the critics are only as good as their taste. I actually enjoyed this movie and although sometimes the topic may seem to "American", it's not difficult to figure out that the movie revovles around dirty cops. With that said, the storyline is slightly predictive but the action makes the movie enjoyable.

If you like blood then this movie has plenty of it. Blood flying splattering everywhere, sounds of gunfire from the left, right, up, down and even center of the cinema. Other than blood, the screenplay was quite good, with casting of big names like, Keanu Reeves, Hugh Laurie, Forest Whitaker, the guy from prison break, Cedric the entertainer and other familiar faces. Memorable performance by Forest Whitaker, with a no holds barred performance. The emotion in his action was incredible, and because of that, he is still one of the best actors I have seen.

Overall, this movie is just good for the action, no real twist in the story but the movie have very good one liners that I find rather interesting.
