I don't understand street kings?

Question

i just got finished watching street kings and quite frankly i have no idea what it was about. i don't understand why cops were trying to kill him and i don't understand why he killed forest whitaker so can someone please summarize the second half of the movie for me i am dying to know

Answer 1

cops were trying to kill him because he was a liability.when he gave that disc to the dead cops wife it showed that the story of how he died was a lie.A lie which was concocted  by forrest whitaker.Forrest whitaker was willing to do anything to get to the top.he and his crew were dirty cops including keanu reeves.They however didn't tell him that they were the ones who killed the cop in the liquor store because he was a former member of their crew and was speaking to internal affairs.so when keauna reeves went off on his own looking for what he thought were the killers he became a liability so forrest put a hit on him.when keanu found out he approached and ultimately killed him for it.

Answer 2

That's why movies like that are terrible. Current movies don't explain things well enough because they are trying to give a surprise but usually in the process they end up messing up the whole movie.
