'Street Kings': Bad Lieutenants, By Kurt Loder Apr 12, 2008
Jay Mohr is especially distasteful as one of Ludlow's fellow cops, and rappers Common and the Game put in a brief but memorable appearance as a team of extra-nasty bad guys. Naomie Harris brings a wounded dignity to the role of Washington's angry widow; Chris Evans makes us feel the sad confusion of an idealistic cop being dragged over to the dark side; and Cedric the Entertainer, as a small-time crook getting squeezed by Ludlow, provides some deeply welcome comic relief.
