Loading ...Director: David Ayer
Stars: Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie (Full Cast)
Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
The Plot: Tom Ludlow (Reeves) is a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he’s been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.
THE BUZZ: Even though this story of serious drama inside the LAPD is a custom fit for David Ayer (Harsh Times), the project went through a series of overhauls before he was brought in to direct. David Fincher, Spike Lee, and Oliver Stone were all ready to make it at one point or the other, but script and financing changes over a two-year period ultimately led to the screenplay being dropped at Ayer’s door. At least the project is at Fox Searchlight, who should have no difficulty marketing another intense Forest Whitaker performance — remember their enduring awards campaign for The Last King of Scotland? Look for Ayer to be completely in his element here, telling a sort of years-later story he so expertly created with Training Day.
