Just saw this on DVD. Street Kings was action packed from start to finish, even the talking scenes were interesting. and yet the critics gave this movie the same mauling as the recent disappointing Righteous Kill with Al and bob. Street Kings was the better movie....seven out of ten.
sharereally great directions gave it the edge.

Critics always great films, remember John Carpenter's The Thing "Oh, it's too doomy & gloomy". I remember Gene Siskel didn't like Seven, The Usual Suspects, Fallen & Body Snatchers (93 version) haven't really listened to critics since.

David Ayer is awesome. I'd like to see him do more. I wonder if people just attack his credibility cause they think he's just some fake wigger from the streets. I find it interesting that he can offer much more realistic insight on street violence then someone like John Singleton or the Hughes brothers who probably really didnt grow up in the streets. Being in a similar situation as a white guy from predominantly black gang neighborhoods, I think he has a good abiltiy to put his experiences into film.
shareI agree. We only have the power to judge a movie and bring it to its success. This movie is underratedly good and has incredible performances from the cast.
shareYes. As I always say, Never read reviews or critics. Just see with your own eyes then decide if you liked the movie or not.
