While the first poster for Street Kings took the artsy approach -- successfully, might I add -- the film's international version is a bit more generic. Somewhere there's a formula that says how to make posters for cop thrillers, and this followed it.
Street Kings Poster
Keanu Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD Vice Detective. Ludlow sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (Crews). Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlo's supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (Evans) to track Washington's killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington's murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.
The good people at Kino-Govno posted the international Street Kings poster below. Though my high school German is a bit rusty, I do believe the tagline states: One Cop. One City. No Rules.
