Hugh Laurie and Forest Whitaker square off in Street Kings (Fox Searchlight)
Street Kings (opening April 11 throughout San Diego) has some impressive pedigree. It's based on a story by James Ellroy, a hardboiled writer who's been called the Demon Dog of American Crime Fiction. First time director David Ayer had previously scripted the dark cop films Training Day, Dark Blue , and Harsh Times . And the film boasts the talented Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie squaring off as a corrupt police captain and an Internal Affairs captain. Everything appears in place for a tough cop thriller exploring a grittier side of law enforcement.
