I really enjoyed David Ayer's earlier projects (Training Day and Harsh Times) so am looking forward to this one. The trailer looks good, although I'm not convinced seeing Keanu Reeves as the lead.

Great movie!! If you enjoy gritty cop movies, you'll like this one. Keanu Reeves is surprisingly good as the police's hitman/cop with doubt about what he does. Rapper Common also gives a stand out performance as a truely frightening character "We straight nightmares". Of course Forrest Whitaker is always good.
The movie starts off with a scene where Reeves sells a machine gun to some Koreans. It contains an instant classic quote: Boss Kim: Yo dawg. Tom Ludlow: Konnichiwa. Boss Kim: What? Tom Ludlow: Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa. It means what's up. So what the fuck's up? Thug Kim: [upon seeing a huge gun in Ludlow's trunk] The fuck is this? We said a machine gun. Tom Ludlow: It is a machine gun. Boss Kim: The kind you can carry. Thug Kim: Konnichiwa is Japanese. It's insultin' to Koreans. Tom Ludlow: How am I supposed to tell if you can't? Thug Kim: Fuck's that supposed to mean, white boy? Tom Ludlow: It means you got eyes like apostrophes, you dress white, talk black, and drive Jew. So how am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog-munching dink you are if you don't? Boss Kim: Yo. D'you know who the fuck we are? Tom Ludlow: Yeah. You're a couple panheads buyin' a machine gun out of a trunk. Go see it! -------------------- Check out the Gangsters Inc website for all your news and info about organized crime and the mafia!

David Ayer is turning into one of my favorite filmmakers. He has delivered three excellent gritty crime movies situated in LA.
