Street Kings review

When I went to see Street Kings, I was expecting to see a flick based on the common “Cops n Robbers” storyline with some awesome gun battles. As an action flick junkie, I was kind of disappointed, and as a regular moviegoer, I felt as though it would have been better to rent this one. The plot of the film was average at best. It’s about a detective (Reeves) who works his way through LA’s criminal hierarchy to identify those that killed his former partner. Theres one gun battle in the movie, maybe two if you count the murder scene. The rest is just talk. However, there is a good twist at the end that you may not see coming. All in all, I was expecting a lot more from this flick.

My verdict: Rent It

This means that by 2018, computers memory will be equivalent to modern hard disk capacity. That’s a lot of memory. Read more here
