Street Kings

Street Kings (2008) is a crime thriller directed by David Ayer and released by Fox Searchlight — watch it online on iFILM. Keanu Reeves plays Detective Tom Ludlow, an LAPD officer who stopped asking moral questions a long time ago and started operating on results alone.

When forensic evidence ties Ludlow to the murder of a fellow cop, he has nowhere to turn. The department he served his whole life is now hunting him, and every ally could be the one who set him up. Chris Evans plays the younger detective who joins the chase, while Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie circle as commanding officers whose loyalties never quite come into focus. Naomie Harris and Terry Crews round out a cast that keeps the stakes personal rather than procedural.

Ayer, who wrote Training Day, returns to the same terrain: loyalty, corruption and what it costs to survive inside a broken institution. 104 minutes of sunlit Los Angeles noir. Stream Street Kings (2008) online on iFILM.
