Street Kings

I decided to take my cousins out for a movie yesterday. I picked Street Kings.. for the simple reason that Keanu Reeves was in it. I fell in love with him when I saw the Matrix. What a huge mistake that turned out to be. This movie.. Street Kings.. which I for no explainable reason recal as Street Riders is a remake of some Vijaykanth movie! Not in the literal sense.. but the essence of it.. yeah!!

The hero is not a bullet-resistant, walking peace of non-penetrateable armor for cryin' out loud! He gets shot in his arm.. and manages to fight.. get punched in the 'hit' area and still survive.. wake up Mr.Reeves.. its not The Matrix! .. Its not 'your mind makes it real' anymore... it IS REAL! The guy cannot act for nuts.. he has the same deadpan expression everytime. It worked wonders in The Matrix because the character required him to do so.. which I misunderstood as good acting.. looks like he still has the hangover. Plus the person who designed his clothes in the movie is definitely gay.

The music - Have you seen Vikraman movies or Karan Johar movies? Where one song is played in variable speeds. If the junta are happy - Fast version; junta are sad - slow version. This is the same funda followed in this movie. Fast.. slow.. medium-slow..medium fast..faster..sloowwwwww.

Dialogues - This was the easiest part in the movie. There are only 2 words used - 'Fuck' and 'Shit'. Eg - What the fuck is up you mother-fucker? Mind your fucking business you fucking shit.

Cons:

• Keanu Reeves


• Dialogues


• Story (What story?)


• Screenplay


• Music


• Costumes!


• Pace of the movie


• Acting - (Forgot to mention - The guy who plays the chief or whatever.. keeps spitting. Apparently thats the way he talks.)


• What's left?

Pros:

• Keanu Reeves' car


• Detective Disco :-) He was hot!

My expert opinion - DONT WATCH! Resort to Captain Vijaykanth for better nail biting action! :-)
