Pretty good flick with a solid cast. Keanu Reeves usually gets a lot of criticism for his acting but he was great in this film.

Arjun S

A somewhat predictable gangster flick, but not without some of its own "deep" moments pulled from the grueling day to day lifestyle which is keenly depicted here by David Ayer

Keanu Reeves' bad-boy cop Tom Ludlow may not play by the rules, but the film sure does.

Guardian

There's plenty of empty bravura, and Reeves is fundamentally blank and uninteresting.

Beyond a certain on-the-nose contrast in performances and a sense of déjà vu from other movies like it, Kings of the Street is a dignified, noble and, ultimately, quite effective offering. [Full review in Spanish]

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Swimming in bloody violence, Street Kings has plenty of holes, and it is way over the top. But you also have the sense that the filmmakers are not trying to exaggerate.
