In the wake of the
L.A. riots, an LAPD Vice Detective who always went above and beyond the
call of duty to keep the streets safe receives a startling wake-up call
that leaves him convinced that he can no longer employ the tactics that
made him so effective in his work. LAPD veteran Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves)
has bore personal witness to the worst that the streets have to offer,
and when his partner Detective Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) is killed
the violence strikes a bit too close to home. Now Ludlow is on a mission
to bring his partner's killer to justice, though Captain Walker (Forest
Whitaker) is concerned that the hotheaded detective is taking the case
too personally. Now, as Captain Walker attempts to convince Ludlow to work
within the confines of the law, Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Hugh Laurie)
begins following the vengeful lawman's every move. In order to accomplish
his mission, Ludow recruits fresh-faced Robbery Homicide Detective Diskant
(Chris Evans) to trace Washington's killers through the winding streets
of Los Angeles. Later, when Ludlow and Diskant come face to face with the
remorseless cop-killers, they must chose between upholding the law and
seeking bitter vengeance.
