Another rung in gratuitous violence?
Well choreographed with plenty of blood and exit wounds. Good effects, but Serpico didn't need it and a far superior film.
shareDUDE! You are so right. I mean Hollywood just makes all this stuff up about violence.
Take this movie for example- A story about drugs and good cops and bad cops. As we all know, in real life there are no gangs, no drug dealers, people never shoot each other, cops are never forced to shoot people. Hollywood just makes all that stuff up. In real life there are no such things as corrupt cops that murder people. In real life people never get into violent shootouts. In real life people would never kill over drug money.
Yup...Hollywood just makes all this sick "violence" with "blood and exit wounds" stuff up. It never happens in real life. There are no blood or exit wounds when people are shot over drug money in real life. WHY do they need to lie to us and make that up?
Who would want to ever see a film about REAL life? You know that there is no violence in real life. LA is the safest city in the US. Ive lived here for my entire life and have never heard a gun shot. Not a single person has ever been shot and had blood and exit wounds in Los Angeles.
SERPICO was based on a REAL life person and what he went through.
STREET KINGS is pure fiction. Ya know...made up...
You cant compare the two films in any realistic way other than to say both were films that had police officers in them.
ANYWAYS, Im kinda drunk and babbling, I just thought your comment was silly.
