Alonzo V.S (Training Day) V,S Eldon (Dark Blue) V.S Ludlow (Streetkings)
First off I'd like to say I am looking at this completely unbiased. I LOVE all these actors, Denzel has to be the most talented out of all of em, but Kurt might edge it for being my fav, Keanu has suprised me with his roles now that he has matured, so they are all great IMO.
Now, down to their characters.
Gun Fighters: Eldon and Ludlow were both stated as being gunfighters, having "Notches on their belt" I'm not saying Alonzo wasn't by ANY means but he is more of a
Ghetto Fighter: He knows how to use his weaponry, but he was clearly raised in thug-life and uses his weapons more to that style. Which, honestly is less effective many of the times.
Hand-to-hand: Denzel is one mean street fighter, probably having survived countless ones. I'd give him the edge, only slightly though. Kurt and Reeves's characters are both white cops who gotta go knee-deep in the worst parts of the areas where their skin puts giant targets on their heads. Reeves is an alcoholic like Kurt but is in better shape and is a fiercer fighter, so I edge him over Kurt in this, Alonzo is a toss-up.
Overall I'd have to give this to detective Ludlow in the end. The man has come out of some REALLY close situations, he'd let Alonzo and Russel's tempers flare and get them gattin' on each other, then he'd smoothly come in blasting. That scene where he used the flashlight to blind then shoot was brilliant. I compared all these characters since they were all made by the same writer David Ayer (at least to some extent) and you can see the style in em all.
What do y'all think? Street Kings, Training Day, and Dark Blue, are three of my fav movies. Definitly the best cop movies for our era. Let me know y'alls opinion. Sorry about any spelling or grammer errors, I'm really loopy from the morphine from my surgery lol.
